Third National Climate Assessment 2010–2014

USGCRP's Third National Climate Assessment (NCA) was informed by extensive public input gathered through town hall meetings, public comment periods, technical workshops, and other participatory opportunities across the country. The NCA engagement strategy leveraged science and assessment capacity across the country while working to ensure that the process and outcomes were accessible and useful to stakeholders. The information below documents stakeholder engagement around the Third NCA.
