The Northeast Climate
Impacts Assessment (NECIA) is a collaboration
between the Union of Concerned Scientists and a
team of independent experts using
state-of-the-art tools to assess how global
warming will affect the Northeast
United States following two different paths: A
higher emissions path with continued rapid
growth in global warming pollution, and a lower
emissions path with greatly reduced heat
trapping emissions.
The goal of the assessment
is to provide opinion leaders, policymakers, and
the public with the best available science as we
make informed choices about reducing our
heat-trapping emissions and managing the changes
we cannot avoid.

technical papers behind the report and more
