What are the Climate Hubs?
![Page 4: USDA Regional Hubs for Risk Adaptation and Mitigation to ... · increasing climate variability and environmental change Mission: To develop and deliver science-based, region-specific](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070802/5f02baad7e708231d405b86f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
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.

- Agriculture – underrepresented in current regional climate change efforts
![Page 23: USDA Regional Hubs for Risk Adaptation and Mitigation to ... · increasing climate variability and environmental change Mission: To develop and deliver science-based, region-specific](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070802/5f02baad7e708231d405b86f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Establish web presence
- Consistency over 7 Regional Climate Hubs
- Coordination with other government web sites
- “One stop shopping” - Legacy web sites
