Moderator Dave White, an ASU associate vice president in research, joins Sam Assefa director of the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research; Leah Fisher, program director of Invest in Our Future, a California-based philanthropic focusing on allocation of climate funding; and Brittany Moffet, a senior resilience engineer with Arup’s Los Angeles office, discuss the National Climate Assessment, Wednesday, December 6, 2023, at the City Club Los Angeles, as part of the 10 Across Summit. Those living in the Ten Across geography are on the front lines of climate change and can detail its impact based on direct experience. The statistics leading up to the hottest year on record serve to confirm the science and predictions made decades ago. The National Climate Assessment provides an authoritative summary of the impacts of climate change on the United States, now and in the future. Developed by a team of more than 300 experts guided by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee, the 5th edition of the Assessment is designed “to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change,” mainly as they are applied to the United States. A key statistic from the assessment found that in the 1980s, there was a $1 billion climate catastrophe every four months; now, it happens every three days.
