U.S. Global Change Research Program

The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is an initiative that coordinates scientific research across federal agencies to understand how Earth's climate and ecosystems are changing due to human activities. It studies impacts like rising temperatures, sea level rise, and changing weather patterns, providing policymakers with reliable information to make informed decisions. The program also looks into how climate change affects health, agriculture, and infrastructure, aiming to find strategies for adaptation and mitigation to protect communities and the environment now and in the future.
