We advance climate change research and the understanding of climate impacts from physical, ecological, and socio-economic perspectives.  

We foster academic-community partnerships to create and evaluate adaptation strategies.  We work with communities to identify research needs and provide information that promotes best practices and co-benefits at the adaptation and mitigation nexus. 

We cultivate dialogue between climate scientists, decision-makers and communities at risk, engage in outreach and education, and support the next generation of climate leaders.
