The U.S. Global Change Research Program is pleased to announce the release of two major reports:
Fourth National Climate Assessment (nca2018.globalchange.gov)
NCA4 Vol II, Impacts, Risks, and Adaptation in the United States,
assesses a range of potential climate change-related impacts, with an
aim to help decision makers better identify risks that could be avoided
or reduced. The assessment follows Vol I, the Climate Science Special Report
(CSSR), which was released in November 2017. Together, these reports
meet the requirements of the Global Change Research Act, which mandates a
quadrennial assessment of our understanding of global change and its
impacts on the United States. NCA4 Vol II can be viewed on its interactive website at nca2018.globalchange.gov.
2nd State of the Carbon Cycle Report (carbon2018.globalchange.gov)
SOCCR2 represents an important technical contribution to USGCRP’s sustained assessment process. The report provides an overview of how human and natural processes are affecting the global and North American carbon cycle, emphasizing advances in the understanding of carbon cycle science and associated human dimensions. Read the report at carbon2018.globalchange.gov.
