November 14, 2023 | USDA Press

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has made significant contributions to the Fifth U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA5), a congressionally mandated report analyzing the effects of climate change on various sectors of the U.S. economy. The USDA's role in the NCA5 emphasizes its commitment to understanding and addressing the impacts of climate change, particularly on farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. The report, released on November 14, 2023, covers topics such as agriculture, forests, food systems, historically underserved communities, and natural resources. It underscores the importance of adaptation and resilience in the face of climate change and highlights the role of the land sector in mitigating greenhouse gases. The USDA's contributions aim to inform decision-making and guide efforts to address climate change effects across the nation.
