Vision: Agricultural production and natural resources maintained and strengthened under increasing climate variability and environmental change
Mission: To develop and deliver science-based, region-specific information and technologies to agricultural and natural resource managers that enable climate-smart decision-making and provide assistance to enable land managers to implement those decisions.

Why regional at each agency?
We can’t respond to global change in isolation
RESILIENCE & PREPAREDNESS
COMMUNITIES, COASTS, & OCEANS
NATURAL RESOURCES
WORKING LANDS
GLOBAL CHANGE IN US

February-December 2014
• Work with partners and stakeholders to access needs and capabilities
• Establish work plans
• Establish web presence
• Assess regional vulnerabilities to ID most pressing issues
![Page 16: USDA Regional Hubs for Risk Adaptation and Mitigation to Climate](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030320/586a0e9e1a28ab17578bfb08/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Assess regional vulnerabilities to ID most pressing issues
- What resources are currently most vulnerable to direct and indirect impacts of climate change
- What may be vulnerable in the near future
- What should be the first priority areas for a Climate Hub to address
![Page 17: USDA Regional Hubs for Risk Adaptation and Mitigation to Climate](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030320/586a0e9e1a28ab17578bfb08/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Establish work plans (who does what?)
Partners

• Work with partners and stakeholders to access needs and capabilities
- State Agricultural Experiment Stations - State Cooperative Extension Programs - Department of Interior USGS Climate Science Centers - DoI FWS Landscape Conservation Cooperatives - NOAA Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments Program (RISAs) - Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network
![Page 19: USDA Regional Hubs for Risk Adaptation and Mitigation to Climate](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030320/586a0e9e1a28ab17578bfb08/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Work with partners and stakeholders to access needs and capabilities
Natural Resources – collaborate with CSCs, LCCs and other regional groups
Agriculture
– Underrepresented in many regional climate change efforts

• Establish web presence
- Some level of consistency over 7 Regional Climate Hubs
- Coordination with other government web sites
- “One stop shopping”
- Legacy web sites
