WWETAC Climate Change Vulnerability Assessments

A climate change vulnerability assessment, or CCVA, is a report that synthesizes and evaluates a wide range of scientific information, including model projections and scientific papers, on the effects climate change might have on a specific area. This fact sheet summarizes the main parts and uses of a CCVA, and highlights the role WWETAC plays in producing many of the assessments for the Western U.S. It also includes an up-to-date list of WWETAC's available assessment.
