Abstract:
A 60-person Federal Advisory Committee (The "National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee" or NCADAC) has overseen the development of this report. The NCADAC, whose members are listed below, was established under the Department of Commerce in December 2010 and is supported through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It is a federal advisory committee established as per the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972. The Committee serves to oversee the activities of the National Climate Assessment. Its members are diverse in background, expertise, geography and sector of employment. The NCADAC engaged more than 240 authors in the creation of the report. The authors are acknowledged at the beginning of the chapters they co-authored. Following extensive review by the National Academies of Sciences and by the public, this report will be revised by the NCADAC and will then be submitted to the Federal Government for consideration in the Third National Climate Assessment Report.
