The NIACS partnership is collaborative and inclusive. Partner organizations work together to convene practitioners and other stakeholders with diverse perspectives and types of knowledge to identify opportunites for collaborative action to advance climate adaptation and carbon science.
NIACS works with hundreds of organizations across all lands to ensure that the diverse values of public, private, and tribal organizations are represented in response to the challenges of climate change on ecosystems and communities. The organizations featured here have each signed the NIACS Memorandum of Agreement and Partnership Statement.
