Abstract
This infographic features results from the Wyoming Survey on Climate, Water, and People. The purpose of the survey was to understand Wyoming residents' perceptions on changing water resources and weather variability in Wyoming. Key results from the survey are highlighted in visually appealing graphs, charts, and images. Topics include perceptions of risk and vulnerability, experience with natural hazards, attitudes about adapting to a changing environment, perceptions of other people’s opinions, trusted information sources for news about water and weather, and support for policy options, community plans, and the use of modeling to adapt to changes. This infographic of the survey results was prepared for WyACT (Wyoming Anticipating the Climate-Water Transition), which is an interdisciplinary five-year National Science Foundation-funded project (Grant 2149105) led by the University of Wyoming. WyACT partners with Wyoming communities, practitioners, and decision-makers to understand, anticipate, and prepare for significant changes in climate and water and the impacts of those changes on interconnected human and natural systems.
