Fifth National Climate Assessment | Chapter 31 | Adaptation

Changes in the climate have been observed and experienced across every region of the United States (Ch. 3).
Chronic changes such as increasing temperatures, sea level rise, and changing precipitation patterns are
affecting the frequency and intensity of diverse extreme weather events. These changes directly impact
many millions of people and ecosystems and are projected to increase in the future. Adaptation is essential for human and ecological survival in this rapidly changing, complex, and interconnected world.
