Event Description
I am pleased to share that development of the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6) is underway. The NCA is a Congressionally mandated report on climate change in the United States, published by the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). USGCRP recently released its first public announcement about NCA6, which includes a call for author nominations, comment on the draft prospectus, and technical inputs. We want to make sure the announcement reaches the American Association for the Advancement of Science community, and hope you will help us spread the word.
USGCRP is accepting author nominations, comments on the draft prospectus, and technical inputs through its Public Contribution System. Author nominations and comments on the draft prospectus are due by June 7, 2024. Technical inputs may be submitted over the next several years, but earlier submissions are more likely to be considered.
Call for authors and leads: USGCRP is seeking nominations for authors with climate-related expertise in physical, biological, and/or social sciences, as well as Indigenous knowledge. We encourage participation from scientists and practitioners across all non-governmental sectors, as well as federal employees. Selection criteria for author positions will consider expertise, disciplinary background, and geographic representation – all career levels are encouraged to apply. Individuals interested in being considered for chapter leadership positions should have experience leading collaborative teams under deadlines.
Call for comment on the draft prospectus: The draft prospectus lays out the overall plan for the assessment, including its scope and the topics covered. Public review at this early stage is vital to the future direction of the report. If you are not familiar with the comment submission website, basic instructions are available here.
Call for technical inputs: USGCRP is seeking submissions of climate-related scientific and/or technical information such as peer-reviewed and other published literature, relevant datasets, and all forms of Indigenous knowledge.
For more information, please see the attached background document or join our May 9 informational webinar at 3pm ET. The webinar recording will also be posted to the USGCRP website.
If you have any questions, please be in touch with our National Climate Assessment Staff Scientist, Aaron Grade (agrade@usgcrp.gov). Please join our newsletter to receive future NCA6 updates.
