Next Steps
The next steps in planning for the
NCA include gathering inputs on a
number of issue areas to help define the
NCA process and expectations for its
products. Public comments on the above
NCA objectives and proposed topics and
on the following issue areas may be
used by the Interagency National
Climate Assessment (INCA) Task Force
and the National Climate Assessment
Development and Advisory Committee,
an advisory body being created at the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration in compliance with the
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, in their discussion of
plans for developing the first draft of the
this National Climate Assessment.
Issue Areas: The INCA Task Force has
identified the need for discussion on
important tools, methodologies,
guidelines, and assumptions for
assessment. USGCRP and the NCA team
are actively soliciting input on the
following topics:
• Knowledge Management, Metadata,
and Peer Review: How to manage data,
archiving, quality assurance/quality
control, peer review, qualifications for
inclusion of data in official Assessment
documents; documentation of sources;
chain of custody of information.
• Communications and Engagement:
Ensuring consistent messages about

what we are trying to accomplish,
encouraging co-production of
information between government and
external stakeholders, coordination with
other Federal climate-related programs,
design of documents and tailored
communications with a variety of
partners.
• Economic and Alternative
Valuation Techniques and Metrics for
Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation,
and Mitigation: Ways of evaluating the
effectiveness of adaptation and
mitigation options using tools that
acknowledge non-monetary values and
inter-generational benefits.
• Vulnerability Assessments:
Identification of approaches to
evaluating the relative vulnerability of
ecological and social communities and
approaches to prioritization of risk
across sectors and regions.
• Planning for Regional and Sectoral
Assessments: Methods to ensure
consistent approaches to building
regional and sectoral components of the
assessment.
• Role of International Climate
Impacts and Responses, and their
Implications for the United States: The
ways in which the NCA will consider
the implications of stresses that are
generated elsewhere in the globe and to
consider the global context for the NCA
process.
• Scenarios for Climate Change
Assessment: Methods for the
development and use of consistent
projections of possible future conditions
for use within NCA activities.
• Climate Change Modeling and
Downscaling: Issues and methodological
perspectives related to selecting model
and downscaling outputs and
approaches for their use in NCA
activities. This includes socioeconomic,
land use, and other model types and
outputs, in addition to climate model
outputs.
• Monitoring Climate Change and its
Impacts: Selecting from existing
monitoring and observing systems and a
variety of impact reports to design an
integrated, ongoing monitoring system
for the NCA. This includes establishing
a long-term, consistent approach to
documenting climate impacts and
trends (including developing indicators
of, e.g., impacts to the built environment
and energy sectors, impacts on and
responses of natural systems, socio-
PO 00000
economic and public health trends, and
disasters and extreme events).
