Many leading Earth scientists from the region and researchers from Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) were part of the panel’s work since its beginning. Among them Cynthia Rosenzweig, who helped pioneer the study of climate change and agriculture. Additionally, legal, insurance, and risk management experts are part of the NPCC.

  • The second report NPCC2 was published in 2013, about climate risk, based on observations, climate change projections, and maps.
  • The third report NPCC3 was published in 2015, and provides climate projections until 2100.
