Preview of Our Changing Planet. The U.S. Climate Change Science Program for Fiscal Year 2008

Abstract

The Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) incorporates and integrates the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) with the Administration's U.S. Climate Change Research Initiative (CCRI). The Preview of Our Changing Planet: The U.S. Climate Change Science Program for Fiscal Year 2008 provides a timely and brief description of the plans for FY 2008 as well as a summary of recent accomplishments, and is intended to support CCSP-related elements of the FY 2008 budget. A more comprehensive reporting of accomplishments, plans, and budgets will be published later in the year as the FY 2008 edition of the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) annual report, Our Changing Planet. This FY 2008 Preview highlights recent advances supported by CCSP-participating agencies in each of the program's research and observational elements, as called for in the Strategic Plan for the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. The Preview includes an analysis of the significant recent progress that CCSP has made toward its overarching goals. The document describes the coordination of research and overall program management, and the eight key interagency implementation priorities for FY 2008. The document also outlines how CCSP plans to continue implementation of the Strategic Plan during FY 2008, emphasizing work on 21 scientific synthesis and assessment reports integrating research results focused on key issues and related questions of interest to decisionmakers.
