This is a testimony by the RAND Corporation before the Special Committee on Aging United States Senate.

This report provides a comprehensive review of the current resources for economic recovery post-disaster in South Carolina and explores one mechanism for filling identified gaps in recovery: new disaster insurance models.

This report documents research and analysis conducted as part of a project titled estimating impact of climate change on force readiness.

To explore growing wildfire risks across the U.S., Climate Central analyzed historical trends in fire weather—the combination of high heat, low humidity, and strong winds.

This research highlights that increases in burned forest area across the western United States and southwestern Canada over the last several decades have been partially driven by a rise in vapor pressure deficit (VPD).

This study illustrates the impacts climate change will have on the fruit industry by modelling the mid-century changes in Florida strawberry yield using downscaled climate models.

This report addresses the need to develop and share locally relevant and actionable knowledge, ways to engage coastal communities meaningfully into adaptation planning, and opportunities to deliver transformative adaptation policies.

The objective of this research is to characterize municipal interventions to extreme heat events (EHEs) and compare U.S. jurisdictions with and without formal heat action plans. Increasingly frequent and intense EHEs are indicative of climate impacts.
