The Consequences of Climate Change Across America: New Findings from the
National Assessment
June 4, 10:00 A.M.
The National Assessment on the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and
Change aims to understand United States vulnerabilities to climate change and
develop ways to mitigate problems arising from changing regional climates.
Government and university researchers focus on issues specific to their
respective regions. New data on how climate change is affecting metropolitan
areas, the Pacific Northwest, the Mid-Atlantic region, and the Southwest will be
discussed at this session.
(Relates to Sessions U51A, U52A)
