Research Program.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
following Federal Register Notice
contains four parts:
Part I is a high-level description of the
proposed themes and framework of
NCA6. Comment on these themes and
framework is requested from the public.
Part II is a call for volunteers to
participate in NCA6 as authors and
technical contributors.
Part III requests submission of
relevant research for authors to review
and consider in developing NCA6.
Part IV provides a notice of planned
public engagement events throughout
the NCA6 development cycle.
In addition to the proposed themes
and framework, this Federal Register
Notice requests public comment on
ways to make the assessment
information accessible and useful to
multiple audiences; specific types of
information or formats that would be
most useful to decision-makers; how to
best describe risks and impacts to
inform decisions, as well as potential
opportunities to reduce those risks and
impacts; new topics or new approaches
to topics addressed in previous
assessments; overarching themes that
NCA6 should consider addressing; and
other relevant input.
The Global Change Research Act
(GCRA) of 1990 mandates that the U.S.
Global Change Research Program
(USGCRP) deliver a National Climate
Assessment (NCA) to Congress and the
President not less frequently than every
four years that ‘‘(1) integrates, evaluates,
and interprets the findings of the
Program; (2) analyzes the effects of
global change on the natural
environment, agriculture, energy

production and use, land and water
resources, transportation, human health
and welfare, human social systems, and
biological diversity; and (3) analyzes
current trends in global change, both
human-induced and natural, and
projects major trends for the subsequent
25 to 100 years.’’
To date, five NCAs have been
released. The first NCA was published
in 2000, and the second was published
in 2009. The third NCA was published
in 2014, and the fourth was released in
two volumes and completed in
November 2018. The most recent, the
fifth NCA, was released in November
2023, and can be found at https://
nca2023.globalchange.gov.
NCA6 development will be
transparent and inclusive, offering
opportunities for diverse public
participation throughout the process.
The production and review processes
are designed to result in a report that is
authoritative, timely, relevant, and
policy-neutral; valued by authors and
users; accessible to the widest possible
audience; and fully compliant with the
GCRA.
I. Overarching Themes for NCA6 (Draft
Prospectus)
NCA6 will encompass a number of
overarching themes and perspectives
that respond to needs and gaps
identified by previous assessments. We
seek inputs on potential overarching
themes for the NCA6 report, including
on the topics listed below:
Identification of advancements or
improvements, relative to previous
assessments, in scientific understanding
of human-induced and natural
processes of global change and the
resulting implications for the U.S.
Characterization of current and future
risks associated with global change,
with quantifiable metrics such as
indicators and projections where
possible, and with the needs of different
sub-national geographies and multiple
audiences in mind.
Examining trends and developments
in adaptation; adaptation options and
effectiveness of adaptation efforts;
approaches for monitoring adaptation
progress including indicators and
metrics.
Further exploration of how people
understand the drivers, risks, and
impacts of climate change; how changes
in climate affects national security,
society, and different people or groups
of people living within the U.S.; and
how people behave in response to
climate-induced change.
Identification of populations living in
the U.S. at higher risk of climate
impacts, perspectives on equity and
