Climate change is the most important,
incredibly complex issue affecting work
across all scales of the National Park
Service – NPS Director, Jon Jarvis

To address the seriousness of this issue the
NPS Leadership established and funded
Climate Change Response Program (CCRP)
in FY 2010 for $10M.

Communication Messages
Climate change is happening and human activities are contributing to and
accelerating it.
Changing climate has consequences for parks, people, and the planet.
The NPS is responding with practices that address climate change.
The choices we make now may help to avoid catastrophic impacts
in the future.
