CLEAN Teleconference Call February 16, 2016
The Sustained National Climate Assessment Process: Recent Releases, Upcoming Events, and Creating Capacity for the Future
Abstract:
The US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is implementing a sustained National Climate Assessment process that facilitates the synthesis and sharing of information about climate change science and the impacts of climate change on the United States. An important part of this sustained process is the participation of scientists and stakeholders across regions and sectors, enabling new information and insights to be incorporated into assessment activities and products as they emerge. At this presentation, staff from the USGCRP National Coordination will provide an overview of recent and upcoming assessment releases and will invite discussion about how these products may be of use to the CLEAN community and how the CLEAN community can participate in the sustained assessment process.
