13 US Agencies Involved in Climate Change Report

by VOA News

   The federal government released on Friday a report that stated the
   impacts of climate change -- from wildfires to increasingly destructive
   weather events, such as hurricanes, heat waves and droughts -- are
   already affecting the United States, and the danger of more of these
   natural catastrophes is worsening.

   The report said the related losses from climate change, including lower
   labor productivity and deaths because of extreme heat and weather
   events, would amount to the hundreds of billions of dollars by 2090.

   The [1]U.S. Global Change Research Program, made up of 13 federal
   departments and agencies, produced the [2]Fourth National Climate
   Assessment, which was put together with the help of more than 300
   experts, guided by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee. The material
   was extensively reviewed by the public and experts, as well as a panel
   of the National Academy of Sciences, according to the report.

   The 13 federal departments and agencies involved in the report by the
   U.S. Global Change Research Program:

   [3]Department of Agriculture
