The Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5)—the preeminent source of climate information in the United States—is led by the US Global Change Research Program and scheduled for release in late 2023. The report is the result of process advancements in a number of areas: ensuring the inclusion of diverse perspectives, developing downscaled climate projections, providing editorial guidance to authors, documenting a transparent process, creating compelling graphics, and engaging with the public. The lessons learned from this work are particularly relevant to scientists and other assessment developers.
In this oral session, NCA5 staff will showcase new process advancements and efforts to evolve the assessment infrastructure.
