Registry of Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments

The Registry of Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments provides access to information about climate change vulnerability assessments. It is a joint effort involving multiple Federal agencies, along with state and nongovernmental partners. The information you provide here will be posted online at the USGS National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (https://nccwsc.usgs.gov/) and at the Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (http://www.ecoadapt.org/programs/cake), enabling other potential project designers to gain information about other relevant projects.

Please provide as much information as possible, but partial entries are better than none. Core Data (the following section) is especially important.

Core Project Data

What is the Title of the Assessment >>> FILL BOX

Use a descriptive title that will aid others in identifying the project – species name, location, etc.
