Implications of the National Climate Assessment
The US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) released the draft of the third National Climate Assessment (NCA) on January 11th for public review. The NCA is a climate status report authorized under the Global Change Research Act of 1990. Prepared every four years and based on the best available science, the report is a collaborative effort from hundreds academic, government, non-profit, and private sector experts.
In this session, we will convene sustainability leaders from local government, higher education, practitioners and NCA lead authors to discuss actions necessary, inside and outside of government, to take meaningful steps forward to address the issues.
