The UW Climate Impacts Group hosts two federally-funded climate adaptation programs – the Northwest Climate Adaptation Center, funded by the Department of the Interior, and the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. The Climate Impacts Group also hosts the Office of the Washington State Climatologist and acts as a hub for scientific and technical support for climate resilience in Washington State.
