The National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee (NCADAC) oversaw the development of the draft Third NCA report. The NCADAC was established under the Department of Commerce in December 2010 and supported through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It was a Federal advisory committee established as per the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972. Its members were diverse in background, expertise, geography, and sector.

This page summarizes the meetings, decisions, and adopted documents of the NCADAC.  A formal record of the committee can be found at the NOAA NCADAC website.
