Successful long-term management of invasive species depends on the ability of managers to account for and manage effectively in the context of a changing climate.
The need for more and better information on how to manage invasive species in light of climate change emerged as a research priority in the state of New York in 2015, and in 2016 the New York Invasive Species Research Institute initiated a collaboration between scientists at the Northeast Climate Science Center and the University of Massachusetts Amherst to tackle this issue.
Since its inception, the NE RISCC Management group has held a Northeast Invasive Species and Climate Change Workshop, organized the First and Second Annual RISCC Management Symposium, and created a NE RISCC list-serve to facilitate information sharing.
