How to Participate in the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6) Development

The U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA) - developed by the U.S. Global Change Research Program - provides vital information to the Nation on climate change risks, impacts, and responses. The NCA analyzes the effects of global change on regions and sectors of the United States, assessing current trends as well as projections for the next 25 to 100 years. To date, five NCAs have been released, the most recent (NCA5) in 2023, and development of NCA6 is now underway for expected delivery in 2027. Participation from the scientific community is vital to ensuring that the NCA reflects the latest science. This poster will outline how the AMS community can submit technical inputs to NCA6, and touch on other opportunities for participation in the report development process.
