The goal of this report is to inform policy makers, natural resource managers, and the public about the state of the science on climate change, current projections for ongoing changes over the twenty-first century, current and potential future impacts, and the management and policy implications of these changes. Hopefully, this report will lead to a higher degree of awareness and the initiation of timely and appropriate strategic actions that will enable Nebraskans to prepare for and adapt to future changes to our climate.
