Happy Birthday,
National Climate Assessment!
Today marks one year since the release of the 2014 National Climate Assessment (NCA). Since then, people across the country have been using the report to inform their own climate analyses and actions. Building on the momentum generated by the 2014 NCA, USGCRP is charging ahead with the sustained assessment process and the next quadrennial report. Public engagement continues to be key to our ability to deliver timely scientific information that informs on-the-ground responses to climate change. Below are a number of updates on and requests for input to the sustained assessment.

The NCA in practice
Here are just a few recent examples of the many ways that the 2014 NCA is being used:
- The Environmental Protection Agency today released a virtual training module, informed by the NCA, to help local governments build climate resilience.
- A workshop in Maine tomorrow—the latest in a series that have used the NCA—will bring stakeholders together to better understand climate impacts and response options in their area.

A Request for Information issued today seeks public input on how sustained assessment can best support the Nation's evolving needs for climate information.
USGCRP's draft report on the impacts of climate change on human health—a key deliverable of the sustained assessment process—is currently available for public review and comment.
