Assessment of Biodiversity and Climate Change

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is giving notice of a comment period on draft chapters of the Biodiversity and Climate Change Assessment. Biodiversity underlies nature's contributions to people, including food, water, health, hazard protection, and cultural values. Climate change is among the primary drivers of biodiversity loss, and well-managed biodiversity conservation can contribute to climate-change mitigation and adaptation. Responsibilities and Goals

The assessment will characterize the state of understanding concerning key linkages between climate change and biodiversity, identify critical knowledge gaps, and summarize implications for biodiversity and climate-change policy. Submission of Comments

Comments regarding the draft chapters of the assessment must be submitted by December 16, 2024. You may submit comments by mail to Kate Malpeli, 12201 Sunrise Valley Dr., MS-516, Reston, VA 20192, United States. Public comments should be accompanied by the commentor's name, phone number, email address, and affiliation (at the commentor's discretion). Contact Information
