Phase I: Alternatives for Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment: Expert Panel Findings PDF
-
In 2012, the Appalachian LCC tasked NatureServe with a two-phase project that explores the understanding of climate change in the Appalachian landscape. The first phase focused on assembling a panel of experts to provide guidance on a) prioritizing species and habitats to assess vulnerability to climate change; b) selecting approaches to conduct vulnerability assessments, and c) identifying appropriate climate data to use in the assessments. Using the recommendations of the Panel, the second phase of the research conducted vulnerability analyses on selected species and habitats, and provided results within the context of other existing assessments. This report summarizes Phase I of this effort.

Impacts
-
Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, and plant and animal ranges have shifted. Continued changes to Earth's climate could influence agricultural crop yields, affect human health, and impact our energy supply. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment and will continue to impact society in a variety of ways today and tomorrow.
