Program Summary: Human caused climate change is well underway and almost certain to continue in the decades ahead. Comprehensive risk management strategies will include efforts both to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) and to enhance society’s ability to cope with climate impacts (adaptation). Mitigation and adaptation often get mistaken for competing, mutually exclusive alternatives when they are really complimentary approaches with differing strengths and limitations. This briefing will examine the nature of climate impacts occurring within the United States, and explore options for dealing with those impacts.

Presented in partnership with: The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), The American Geophysical Union (AGU), The Ecological Society of America (ESA), and the Pew Center on Global Climate Change.
