National Climate Impacts Assessment 2013 Webinar Series

 

Produced on a regular basis by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the National Climate Assessment (NCA) provides a comprehensive assessment of the current understanding of climate change science, including an overview of likely impacts in the United States on a region-by-region basis.

UCS is hosting a series of webinars with presentations from NCA authors to share key findings from the draft report and answer your questions. The first will highlight the draft report findings on a national level. The ensuing webinars will provide more in-depth information on likely impacts in specific U.S. regions: the Midwest, East Coast, Rocky Mountains region, and California.
