Abstract
Interconnected networks of people, their livelihoods and housing, infrastructure, and nature influence climate risks and are increasingly vulnerable to climate impacts. Compounding and cascading interactions between sectors, hazards, and geographies magnify the impacts of climate change, especially for already-overburdened communities. Effective decision-making and climate responses benefit from collaborative approaches that incorporate diverse types of knowledge and address the challenges of complex climate risks.

Comments
The National Climate Assessment is a quadrennial report to the U.S. President and Congress, mandated by the Global Change Research Act of 1990. The act calls on the U.S. Global Change Research Program to report on the current understanding of climate change as it affects the U.S., the effects on the natural environment and human systems, and anticipated trends over the next 25 to 100 years. The full publication can be viewed at nca2023.globalchange.gov.
