Dear Colleagues,

The US Global Change Research Program is developing the Fourth National Climate Assessment and for the first time including a Caribbean Regional Chapter covering Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Work on the assessment is underway with an expected publication in late 2018. For the Caribbean Regional Chapter, we have a group of 16 authors that have developed a draft chapter outline and begun to annotate the chapter. We are interested in gathering a wide range of input on the draft outline and expected key messages in order to create a chapter that informs and serves stakeholders in government, academia, education, private industry, nonprofit organizations, and the general public. We will be having a stakeholder engagement workshop on March 9th, with a meeting of the authors on March 10th (Thursday and Friday next week). The March 9th meeting will be open to the public with a principle site in San Juan, PR and satellite meetings in North Carolina State University, The University of Puerto Rico, and Washington DC. Participants may also connect remotely via adobe connect.  The authors have representatives from the Virgin Islands Climate Change Council, the Puerto Rico Climate Change Council, the Southeast Climate Science Center and the USDA Caribbean Climate Hub. We are looking to maximize synergy and present a consistent message among these efforts.

Your input at this stage is very valuable both to be sure we are covering all the bases from various sectors, to be sure we are aware of other efforts and information, and to be sure we are addressing the most important issues from your perspective.  In the end your input will improve the Chapter and we hope increase the utility of the information to you.
