Advancing the Science of Climate Change

---

The body of science reviewed by the Panel on Advancing the Science of Climate
Change makes a compelling case that climate change is occurring and suggests that it
threatens not just the environment and ecosystems of the world but the well-being of
people today and in future generations. Climate change is thus a sustainability challenge.
We hope that, for those who are skeptical or uncertain about what the body of
scientific evidence tells us, our report will be informative. The scientific process is never
“closed”—new ideas are always part of scientific debate, and there is always more to
be learned—but scientific understanding does advance over time as some ideas are
supported by multiple lines of evidence while others prove inconsistent with the data
or basic principles. Our understanding of climate change and its causes and consequences
have advanced in this way.

The panel also examined the adequacy of the science base needed to improve the
effectiveness of actions taken to limit the magnitude of future climate change and
adapt to its inevitable impacts. Decision makers in the federal government, state
governments, tribes, corporations, municipalities, and nongovernmental organizations,
as well as citizen decision makers, are beginning to act. Climate research over the past
three decades, however, has been driven largely by a need to better understand rather
than to explicitly respond to climate change. Until recently, there has been relatively
little research focused on the development and implementation of climate-friendly
energy sources or land use practices, socioeconomic and behavioral processes that affect
responses, adaptation strategies, analytical approaches to evaluate trade-offs and
unintended consequences of actions, policy mechanisms, and other response issues.
To address the need for new kinds of knowledge, we recommend some significant
changes to the nation’s climate change research enterprise.
