Oh you’re taking public comments?

Very excited to see the release of the 2nd Status of Tribes and Climate Change (STACC) Report! Congratulations to ITEP and all the authors, artists, and contributors for this massive undertaking and critical work!

But the Australian methodology document and the First Pass assessment report are out! www.dcceew.gov.au/climate-chan...

Here are some pics from the UNFCCC COP29 in Baku this week- the art is traveling around the world!

And finally, if you’re looking for ways to get involved in future reports, you can engage with the first ever National Nature Assessment and NCA6 (globalchange.gov/nca6). Engagement opportunities are posted regularly in the USGCRP monthly newsletter, which you can sign up for here: globalchange.gov

Other non-federal resources related to or derived from NCA5 include ASTC’s conversation guide for science centers and museums and the lovely poetry anthology Dear Human at the Edge of Time.

Other federal resources related to or derived from NCA5 include
- EPA’s Kids and Climate Health Zone www.epa.gov/children/kid...
- The new interactive sea level rise viewer SeaLevel.GlobalChange.gov and
- A library of workforce trainings for federal agencies toolkit.climate.gov/content/fede....

And of course, don’t miss the newly updated Climate Literacy Guide! Principles in the guide can serve as discussion starters or launching points for learning about the climate crisis and what’s being done to address it across the world. www.climate.gov/teaching/cli...

Looking for classroom materials? Each chapter has downloadable and printable handouts, a recorded webinar (so you can learn directly from the authors), and PDFs in English and Spanish.

Don’t have time to read, but enjoy podcasts? The NCA5 companion podcast provides insights into the report and perspectives from many of the report’s authors. My personal favorite is hearing Ada Limón read the poem Startlement, which she wrote for the assessment. www.globalchange.gov/resources/nc...

The NCA5 Art x Climate gallery includes 92 works from artists around the country. This art is a beautiful window into how people are experiencing climate change in their lives. If you happen to be at COP rn, stop by the US Center to see some of the artworks! nca2023.globalchange.gov/art-climate/

Did you know the report has a glossary? If you’re looking for an authoritative definition, these have been approved and cleared by 14 Federal agencies and the White House! nca2023.globalchange.gov/chapter/appe...

The NCA Atlas is an interactive tool that lets users zoom into a location and create maps using the same data in NCA5. It includes extra layers, like Justice40 and watershed mapping. If the exact map you need isn’t one of the 400 figures in the report, you can make your own! atlas.globalchange.gov

The report has ~400 beautiful figures and graphics. These are shareable (each has alt text you can copy and paste), downloadable, and reproducible via transparent metadata. They’re even available in powerpoint slides that can be dropped into your presentations. nca2023.globalchange.gov/all-figures/

Key Messages represent the author team's consensus and reflect the state of the science by reporting confidence—what we know and don’t know. Each Key Message has a traceable account to trace the process and sources authors used to come to these conclusions. nca2023.globalchange.gov/key-messages/

One year ago, the 5th National Climate Assessment was released!
