US National Assessments US Global Change Research Program ( – First national assessment, assessment Synthesis and assessment reports (various dates) – Second national assessment: Global change impacts in the US, climate-change-impacts-in-the-us-2009 – Third national assessment: in process, due 2013.

US Regional Assessments Usually the National Assessments require an a concurrent regional assessment as well: – 2000, 2009, currently preparing – Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) regional reports ( California (2006) Northeast (2007)
