Over the past ten years the Climate Hubs have built trust by working across the USDA and with partners to support climate-informed decisions for robust agriculture, healthy forests, and resilient communities. The USDA Climate Hubs continue to expand upon their priorities: a better understanding of the full range of potential climate change impacts; accelerating development of science-based solutions; informing deployment of adaptation strategies; and building tools for farmers, ranchers, and foresters to understand how to implement climate-informed and nature-based solutions.
