| Description | The first Climate Action Team (CAT) Assessment Report was produced in March 2006, followed by the release of the 2008 Assessment Report. The 2008 assessment expands on the policy oriented 2006 assessment and provides new information and scientific findings. New information and details in the 2008 CAT Assessment Report includes: 1) Development of new climate and sea-level projections using new information and tools that have become available in the last two years; and 2) Evaluation of climate change within the context of broader social changes, such as land-use changes and demographic shifts. The 2006 assessment examined the impacts of climate change with the assumption that, in general, all other factors remained constant. However, to evaluate the economic impacts of climate change and develop strategies for adaptation, these impacts must be considered as part of a set of multiple stressors associated with the economic development and population growth patterns in the state. This latest assessment involved an attempt to consider the joint effect of increased urbanization on climate impacts. |
