Phase 1

• Bring together local water management agencies, environmental NGOs, and regional planners to recognize areas of accelerated hydroclimate change across the Great Lakes basin.

• Highlight trends in precipitation, temperature, and runoff that may affect water availability, ecosystems, and urban infrastructure.

Phase 2

• Invite basin authorities and municipal water offices to publicly endorse non-binding “Hydroclimate Awareness Commitments,” pledging to monitor key indicators and share findings.

• Encourage community-led data collection and local reporting (rain gauges, streamflow logs, small-scale wetland monitoring) to inform adaptive water management strategies and regional planning decisions.
