Join Dean Cody Edwards in conversation with Dr. James Kinter as they discuss the findings of the inaugural Virginia Climate Assessment and how George Mason is leading the way in driving response.
The Virginia Climate Assessment (VCA) is the first document of its kind to provide a convenient, comprehensive, and reliable overview of our current knowledge about Virginia's changing climate and its impacts on the economy, agriculture, transportation, and infrastructure. Led by the Virginia Climate Center at George Mason University, subject matter experts across a variety of disciplines and Virginia institutions have come together to produce and peer-review the report. The VCA provides legislators, policymakers, local and state officials, and the public with a single resource that contains updated, reliable information about climate and weather trends, and their impacts, throughout the state.
