Education and resources related to climate change, resiliency and adaptation
There are many educational opportunities and resources for students and volunteers to learn from and take part in.
The “Fourth National Climate Assessment Volume I: Climate Science Special Report” and “Volume II: The Impacts, Risks and Adaptation in the United States,” are an authoritative assessment of the science of climate change, with a focus on the United States. The Fourth National Climate Assessment, mandated by the Global Change Research Act of 1990, was completed in November 2018. For a look at regional information, see the Fourth National Climate Assessment – Northeast.
