NCA5 and the Economic Impacts of Climate Change in the United States

Chapter 19 of the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) (Economics) outlines the myriad ways that climate change stands to impact the U.S. economy, both today and in the future. The chapter summarizes the implications of these impacts on different sectors of the economy, from households to governments. The AMS community is invited to explore the Economics chapter as well as the full NCA5—the preeminent source of climate information for the United States. NCA5 is developed by the U.S. Global Change Research Program and is scheduled for release in late 2023.
