The latest US climate assessment, known as the National Climate Assessment (NCA5), reveals the widespread impact of climate change across all 50 states, with the Midwest, Northern Great Plains, and Southern Great Plains experiencing severe effects. The report emphasizes the economic costs, including billions of dollars, and the need for urgent action to address the challenges posed by climate change. It also highlights the adaptation strategies for regions facing extreme weather events. The assessment underscores the imperative for society to act on the scientific evidence and tools available to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The southern hemisphere is facing a summer of extremes, say scientists, as climate change amplifies the effects of natural climate variability https://t.co/gKlTvdXUT1
More people are moving north to the US because climate change is drying out their livelihoods back home in Central America. And the drying (made worse by rising temperatures) is going to get much worse if we don’t halt climate change. https://t.co/UzbcDPSxLi
The Southern Great Plains has seen fewer direct, large-scale impacts of climate change than other regions, according to the National Climate Assessment. But the region is still taking action to be more resilient to weather extremes. #NCA5 https://t.co/Z4pHq4wRiv

The Northern Great Plains region is experiencing unprecedented extremes related to changes in climate, including severe droughts, increases in hail frequency and size, floods, and wildfire. But the National Climate Assessment details how the region can adapt to these extremes. https://t.co/JnCeGG4g2Y
