This table lists nine key industries in the 1AM Eastern Territory. States where over 10% of 1AM members work in the industry are highlighted along with the total percentage of members in that industry (e.g. 91.2% of 1AM members in the District of Columbia work in the Forest Products & Printing industry). The table further highlights the climate change risks in those states, and the climate change impacts on key industries in those areas.
