Access to authoritative, usable, and relevant science is critical for decision-makers as they navigate the challenges of global change. Assessments synthesize findings from across scientific disciplines with relevance to national, regional, and local contexts and are essential for decision-making by users from the private and public sectors. This session will highlight recent updates and innovations in global change assessment, as well as related tools and initiatives. Presentations will explore various assessment efforts, including National Climate Assessments. Assessment authors, contributors, and users of assessments are invited to describe their latest work in translating science for decision support. Presentations will also share opportunities to engage in the assessment process.
