The Alaska Climate Change Advisory Group created this adaptation response plan as part of Alaska's overall climate change strategy, which also addressed mitigation and research needs, and included a special Immediate Action Workgroup report (see separate entry). The Advisory Group organized four technical working groups to tackle a broad set of sectors with current and/or projected impacts from climate change: Public Infrastructure, Health and Culture, Natural Systems, and Economic Activities. The report contains a section on climate science and projections, including a discussion of the Global Climate Model (GCM) selection and the process used to downscale modeling results for use in developing this strategy.
