An ad hoc committee will conduct an independent review of the report The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment. The review will provide an overall critique of the draft report and address the following questions:
- Does the report meet its stated goals?
- Is the report responsive to the nation’s needs for information on the health impacts of climate change and their potential implications?
- Does the report accurately reflect the scientific literature? Are there any critical content areas missing from the report?
- Are the approaches to quantitative modeling reasonable and adequately supported by existing literature?
- Are the findings documented in a consistent, transparent, and credible way?
- Are the report’s key messages and graphics clear and appropriate? Specifically, do they reflect supporting evidence, include an assessment of likelihood, and communicate effectively?
- Are the research needs identified in the report appropriate?
This study was sponsored by the United States Global Change Research Program, administered by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
