Projects are not delivering the transformative change needed for climate change adaptation. This failure is due to the delivery of adaptation as projects.

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.
