“…The drought-intolerant species do not necessarily die or lose their leaves during the drought, but rather stop photosynthesizing at the first signs of dry conditions. Thus, the combination of more droughtintolerant species becoming dominant and a mildly drier growing season (consistent with projections for the region; Widhalm et al, 2018) could reduce forest carbon uptake by up to 17 percent (Brzostek et al, 2014).…”

“…2 Projected change in temperature averaged across 10 climate models for two scenarios of heat-trapping gas emissions. The "medium"-emissions scenario (RCP 4.5) is the lower bound of the temperature range and the "high"-emissions scenario (RCP 8.5 Widhalm et al (2018). 3 Southern Indiana refers to the average across the southern third of the state.…”

“…While few states have as long a history of climate assessment as California, Table 1 illustrates the growth of subnational assessments across the country and across sectors. Academic institutions in Wisconsin (Wisconsin Initiative on Climate Change Impacts, 2011), Indiana (Widhalm et al, 2018), Nebraska (Bathke et al, 2014), and Montana (Whitlock et al, 2017) have all conducted state-level assessments, with varying degrees of support from local government institutions, that focus on climate change impacts to local populations, geographies, and economic activities (e.g., agriculture and drought in Indiana and forestry and wildfires in Montana). In a similar partnership with local universities, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's ClimAID synthesizes climate impact information for local decision makers across numerous sectors including agriculture, water resources, energy, transportation, and public health (Rosenzweig et al, 2011a(Rosenzweig et al, , 2011bStevens, 2018).…”

State and local governments, businesses, community organizations, and the general public are taking an increasingly significant role in climate impact assessment. Driven by impacts to constituents and customers and threats to human health, essential services, and property values, local organizations are on the front lines of responding to climate change. National and international efforts such as the U.S. National Climate Assessment and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change provide fundamental scientific understanding as well as methods and modeling tools. Subnational climate assessments can build on this foundation and tailor models and analyses to specific local or decision contexts. However, subnational climate assessment and adaptation presents new scientific and research challenges, such as those related to downscaling climate models, simulating extreme events, and understanding local values and institutional practices. As state, local, and sectoral assessments become more common across the nation, there is a critical opportunity to share learnings and identify challenges and pitfalls. Building off a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine activity focusing exclusively on subnational climate assessment, we consider the methods and results from a variety of examples to synthesize findings about current practices and the future of subnational climate assessment.
