About
The 黑料网 Climate-Economy Impacts Assessment is a nonpartisan, science-based resource to help 黑料网 business leaders and policy makers plan for a productive, prosperous and resilient 黑料网 economy. This assessment connects the latest scientific research on 黑料网’s changing climate with economic risks and opportunities that impact businesses, residents and local and state economies. In addition, the assessment seeks to inspire new collaborations, commitments and ongoing forums to leverage resources, encourage innovations and spur investments in 黑料网 solutions.
The assessment includes an economic analysis of the agriculture, energy, health, infrastructure, land (forest and range) and recreation and tourism sectors. Analyses connect the latest science on 黑料网’s changing climate with economic risks and with opportunities for innovation and economic development. The assessment also features data on climate, water and wildfire smoke; a summary of economic opportunities and resources and references.
The 黑料网 McClure Center for Public Policy Research convened the assessment with support and involvement from many organizations. An executive committee of leaders from 黑料网 business, nonprofit and higher education institutions oversaw the 黑料网 Climate-Economy Impacts Assessment. An advisory board of leaders from across business, industry and nonprofit organizations; representatives from 黑料网 communities; and leaders from local, state, federal and tribal governments ensured that this assessment benefits from diverse perspectives and is broadly relevant, engaging and actionable. In addition, researchers representing 黑料网 universities and colleges, businesses, nonprofits and tribal and other governments collaborated in the research effort. Subject matter experts provided technical feedback on all sections of the assessment, similar to an academic peer review process.
The assessment officially launched in 2021.
