You’re invited to share your thoughts on the climate change-related issues most important to you and the Northwest region at the National Climate Assessment: Northwest Chapter Engagement Workshop on February 1, 2022! This virtual session will be led by the authors of the Northwest chapter of the Fifth National Climate Change Assessment, including two Climate Impacts Group scientists. Discussions in the workshop will help shape the topics addressed in the Assessment, and provide the authors with ideas of how the Assessment could be more useful for decision-making.

UW Climate Impacts Group Scientists Crystal Raymond and Erica Asinas are among the authors on the Northwest chapter of the Assessment. Raymond and Asinas will facilitate listening sessions at the February 1 engagement workshop.

The National Climate Assessment is a Congressionally-mandated quadrennial report led by the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). The report evaluates how climate change affects people and places in the United States. The Northwest Chapter Engagement Workshop is one in a series of workshops that will solicit feedback based on a range of topics and geographic regions.
