Appendix A
The Committee on Ecological Impacts of Climate Change
Statement of Task
An ad-hoc committee will prepare a short (20-page) consensus, high-level overview report based
on the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group II report and other
NRC reports and published literature that provides a balanced summary of key examples of
observed impacts of climate change on a variety of ecosystems. This report will form the basis of
derivative products such as a public brochure and material that could be used as the basis of a
class curriculum or public education.
