Hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy On December 6, 2022, USGCRP released the U.S. Global Change Research Program 2022–2031 Strategic Plan, which sets the course for Federal global change research for the next decade. The Plan, which was informed by input and review from Federal agencies, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and the public, lays the foundation for meeting new and growing challenges, as well as demands for useful, accessible, and inclusive data and information. It is organized around four pillars: Advancing Science...

USGCRP’s Social Sciences Coordinating Committee Webinar Series: Climate, Food, & Culture Session 3: Putting Culture into Practice: The role of Social Science in Building Resilient and Adaptive Food Systems This webinar builds upon discussion from the previous two webinars to specifically consider how culture informs resilient and adaptive food systems in the face of complex disasters. The discussions will draw from the most critical areas of inquiry, and explore the current and future landscape of practical solution-building within these culturally-grounded, resilient, adaptive food systems.

USGCRP’s Social Sciences Coordinating Committee Webinar Series: Climate, Food, & Culture Session 2: Sustainable & Just Fisheries: Rethinking Climate Resilient Food Systems This webinar will explore how culture and climate variability and change are shaping the role of Fisheries in a sustainable and equitable U.S. food system. It will consider lessons learned from COVID-19 in recreating a just food system that is also climate resilient.

USGCRP’s Social Sciences Coordinating Committee Webinar Series, Climate, Food, & Culture Session 1: Socio-Cultural Approaches to Climate, Food, & Agricultural Systems This webinar will highlight the socio-cultural relationships and processes that maintain and adapt land-based food systems in the wake of climate change. It will also explore the ways climate and other disasters, including COVID-19, compound to affect the resilience of these relationships and related local economies.

Hosted by the National Park Service In late 2018, the U.S. Global Change Research Program released Volume II off the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4), providing the most current information on the implications of climate change across 10 regions of the United States. But what does it mean for the National Park System? This roundtable discussion focuses squarely on parks in the U.S. Caribbean region of the NCA4.
