Description

The report reviews a draft strategic plan from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, a program formed in 2002 to coordinate and direct U.S. efforts in climate change and global change research. The U.S. Climate Change Science Program incorporates the decade-old Global Change Research Program and adds a new component -- the Climate Change Research Initiative -- whose primary goal is to "measurably improve the integration of scientific knowledge, including measures of uncertainty, into effective decision support systems and resources."

Reviews

"This report, written for the benefit of CCSP leadership, summarizes the assessment of the program's final 10-year strategic plan, examines it in the context of the assessment of the draft strategic plan and includes recommendations for future planning efforts. Specific areas of assessment include the scientific scope, program implementation and management, and strategic planning."
