Well, it's official. We just received notice that all authors on the Sixth National Climate Assessment have just been released from their roles. The NCA is a vital, Congressionally mandated resource for our nation as we prepare for the impacts of climate change. This is a huge loss.

NCA6 Update
April 28, 2025 
Dear NCA6 Participants, 

Thank you for your participation in the 6th National Climate Assessment. At this time, the scope of the NCA6 is currently being reevaluated in accordance with the Global Change Research Act of 1990. We are now releasing all current assessment participants from their roles. As plans develop for the assessment, there may be future opportunities to contribute or engage. 

Thank you for your service.

@americanforests.bsky.social ‘s resilient reforestation work in SC Oregon was featured on CBS last night! I had the honor of co-creating an integrated post-🔥 resilience strategy for the region, released last year. AMAZING to see increased capacity to support climate informed reforestation! (1/4) 🌲

How collecting pine cones is helping regenerate Oregon forests destroyed by wildfires

Conservationists are teaming up with the U.S. Forest Service and logging companies to clear scorched land and make room for new reforestation projects.
