Climate change is affecting every part of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ United States and every sector of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ economy, including health, energy, financial markets, agriculture, and water. To understand future climate risks and impacts—and ultimately adapt to Å·²©ÓéÀÖm—it’s critical to use Å·²©ÓéÀÖ latest climate science.

In this visually engaging report, we use ICF’s cutting-edge climate risk analytics platform, ClimateSight, to crunch new internationally recognized climate data. We project warmer and wetter extreme weaÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ future across Å·²©ÓéÀÖ continental United States. In a worst-case scenario, Americans could experience on average up to 53 days with temperatures above 95° F and 3.5 inches of precipitation during extreme three-day precipitation events by midcentury.

Read this report to learn:
  • About new internationally recognized climate projections for extreme heat and precipitation.
  • The differences between Å·²©ÓéÀÖ standard climate projections and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ new climate projections.
  • How mapping climate risks across Å·²©ÓéÀÖ U.S. can help us understand specific risks to each region.
  • How cutting-edge climate tech can make projections of local climate risks—and help communities adapt to those risks.
