CCSP is involved in an ongoing effort to engage stakeholders of climate and global change information in a two-way dialog, helping us to move the Program in societally-relevant directions and to tailor information specifically to serve stakeholder needs. We are asking for input from a wide variety of stakeholders, in part, via a series of Listening Sessions. These sessions are being held at several locations around the country and convened either as stand-alone meetings or in conjunction with a professional society conference or sector-related meeting. At these listening sessions, representatives from the Program provide a short overview of the current USGCRP/CCSP structure and activities and then open the floor to discussion and comments about Federal climate change research.
At each session, we also encourage participants to continue to provide comments and input beyond the listening session and on an ongoing basis. The CCSP Office will provide an analysis and synthesis report of each listening session including a summary of common themes. These are then posted to this site (see below). A calendar of upcoming meetings is also posted below and if you would like to attend an event, please e-mail John.Cortinas@usgcrp.gov In addition, if you would like to provide input via this web-site, we welcome your comments - particularly on the future direction of the Program and on the sort of climate information you need and/or currently use. Please send your comments to input@usgcrp.gov Reports from Listening Sessions: These sessions were convened by a variety of groups, including the CCSP Office, individual CCSP agencies, NGOs, and the international research community.
Reports from the following sessions are forthcoming:
