Climate Solutions
Globally the climate has warmed about 2˚F since 1880. The 10 warmest years in the historical record have all occurred since 2010. Changes in global climate have resulted in regional challenges with more frequent extreme weather events, including heat extremes, drought, flooding, and hurricanes. Climate change is affecting forests, farms, ranches, and communities across the U.S. Climate solutions include management actions that build resilience to extreme weather events, reduce greenhouse gas emission and store carbon to mitigate climate change. The Climate Hubs work with partners to develop and deliver science-based, region-specific information and technologies to enable climate-informed decision-making and provide access to assistance to implement those decisions.
