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.
We are hosting a series of webinars with presentations from NCA authors to share key findings from the draft report and answer your questions. Webinars to date have highlighted the draft report findings on a national level, and on a regional level in the Midwest, Rocky Mountains, and U.S. East Coast (links to recordings below). The remaining webinar will provide more in-depth information on likely impacts in California.
Register today for one or more webinars using the form below. If you are unable to attend, you can watch and listen to the webinars at a later date--webinar recordings will be posted on this page within a few days of their completion.
