\n

After three years of collaboration, UNMC College of Public Health Dean Ali S. Khan, MD, MPH, and Jesse Bell, PhD, Claire M. Hubbard Professor of Water, Climate and Health, will make their final contributions to the Fifth National Climate Assessment this fall.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Federally mandated by Congress in the Global Change Research Act of 1990<\/a>, the National Climate Assessment is released every five years to serve as the foremost review of research on the current and future impacts of climate change in the United States. After a national search for contributors, Drs. Khan and Bell were nominated in 2020 to serve as authors of the assessment\u2019s chapter on human health.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNMC is among a small number of academic institutions to have multiple representatives contribute to the Fifth National Climate Assessment, which involved 450 authors and 850 total collaborators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Fifth\u202fNational Climate Assessment is the most complete and accurate assessment of the impact of climate change on Americans to inform actions and policy changes,\u201d Dr. Khan said. \u201cThe review process includes multiple rounds of public comments and federal agency reviews and a final review by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe initial findings are unequivocal \u2014 humans are responsible for global warming and the health (and multitude of other) impacts are already happening,\u201d he said. \u201cWith political action, we can mitigate additional damage to our health and environment and adapt to the impacts that are already occurring and will continue to occur.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Bell, who leads the College of Public Health\u2019s Water, Climate and Health Program<\/a>, said the assessment has been \u201cone of the most thorough projects that I have ever worked on and brings together diverse expertise from multiple perspectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe impacts of climate change are now. We live in a changed climate and see the current impacts of climate change on human health and will continue to see them in the future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fifth National Climate Assessment is undergoing final review and will be published in full later this year. For more information, visit the U.S. Global Change Research Program website<\/a> or contact Dr. Jesse Bell<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
