The Vermont Climate Assessment is the nation's first comprehensive state-level climate assessment. Partnered with the National Climate Assessment released by the White House, the new Vermont report forecasts climate impacts on the state-- including fewer maple sugaring days and more snow for skiing. It is expected to be the first of many such efforts to combine global and national data with local knowledge to understand climate threats and opportunities in local landscapes and businesses.
