The Fifth National Climate Assessment: Key Findings and Recommendations for Coastal Cities

The Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) shows that climate impacts to coastal cities are intensifying, but there are ample opportunities to accelerate mitigation and adaptation efforts. To help coastal cities ground their climate plans in the most up-to-date science, we developed a memo with key findings and actionable policy recommendations to shift to transformative adaptation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and prioritize equity-centered approaches to climate action.
