This report highlights areas of scientific progress, the value of the information obtained, and the role played by the USGCRP in generating the information through its planning and coordination of global change research across the federal agencies. There are many other examples of accomplishments that could have been identified for a program as wide-ranging as the USGCRP, but the examples highlighted by the committee in this report are particularly impactful and emblematic of the Program's role in advancing global change science over the past 25 years.
