On this page are recordings and associated resources from a webinar series hosted by the State Climate Office of North Carolina and the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies. This page will be updated as new recordings become available.
These webinars are part of a series that covers aspects of climate change in North Carolina, centering around the recently released North Carolina Climate Science Report. The target audience for this series are N.C. Cooperative Extension and related personnel, who connect farmers, agribusinesses, and communities with vital research-based information and technology, and who the State Climate Office works closely with. To learn more about N.C. Cooperative Extension, visit the NC State Extension and NC A&T Extension websites.
NC State University’s North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies (NCICS) led the development of the North Carolina Climate Science Report. NCICS is a unique center of excellence showcasing a partnership between universities, the private sector, non-profit organizations, community groups, and the federal government. As an inter-institutional research institute of the University of North Carolina system, NCICS facilitates climate-related research across the UNC system and its partner organizations.
