The objective of the Regional Engagement Workshop is to gain input from a broad array of regional stakeholders to inform the development of the Northwest (and related) chapter(s) of NCA4 to ensure that the final product is both scientifically sound and beneficial to the community.  Building upon the success of NCA3, we're interested to hear about how climate-related concerns can be or are being addressed throughout the region.  We have particular interest in gathering input that addresses topics raised in public comments received last summer (e.g., case studies, populations of concern, adaptation considerations, etc.).

Below is a brief overview of the Workshop:

  •  8:30 - 10:30am – Background on NCA4 and Introduction to the Northwest chapter and its authors
  • 10:30am - 12:00pm – Stakeholder Perspectives: What are the key attributes and assets of greatest value to the Northwest that are impacted by climate change?  How are they vulnerable to climate change?  What resources should the authors be made aware of? 
  • Afternoon – Rotating breakout groups with Subject Matter Experts about observed and projected impacts; challenges, risks, and opportunities; and emerging issues and research gaps.


Attend in person or remotely until noon. Registration is now open and a draft agenda available.
