<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The California Institute for Energy and Environment at the University of California, Berkeley, in partnership with the California Natural Resources Agency and the Fifth Assessment team, is pleased
to announce a new solicitation to fund a suite of research products that fill demonstrable gaps in the scientific literature related to understanding and adapting to climate change impacts in California. This suite of original climate research will help fill
critical knowledge gaps and set a foundation used to inform subsequent Fifth Assessment products, including a series of regional synthesis reports, statewide topical synthesis reports, and a statewide summary of Fifth Assessment findings and key takeaways.
Visit OPR’s website for more information about the Fifth Assessment’s overall timeline and process.
