| Abstract | Volume II of the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) - Impacts, Risks, and Adaptation in the United States - evaluates the risks American society faces as a result of climate change and highlights actions underway across the country to address those risks. NCA4 Vol. II communicates what climate change means for communities across the country, focusing on impacts and risks affecting the things and places we value. The report also elevates the visibility of successful adaptation actions throughout the ten NCA4 regions (including, for the first time, the U.S. Caribbean), with the hope that communities elsewhere in the country can learn from these experiences. This poster will: (1) present the Summary Findings for NCA4 Vol. II and (2) highlight key aspects of the report Overview, which includes core sections on Economy & Infrastructure, Natural Environment & Ecosystem Services, and Human Health & Well-Being that synthesize findings from the underlying report. The Summary Findings and Overview were developed by an author team composed of the NCA4 Director, Federal Steering Committee members, and U.S. Global Change Research Program staff and member agency experts. They were developed in parallel with the underlying report chapters and went through the same rigorous review process. |
