The California Climate Change Consortium, made up of individuals involved in specialty crop production, prepared a report in 2013 for the California Department of Food and Agriculture focused on the impacts of climate change. It addition to outlining these risks, the Consortium report also proposes strategies for resilience, specifically addressing the impacts of changing temperatures, limited water resources, increased pest pressure, and pollinator decline within the state. The assessment used regional vulnerability assessments to account for localized effects climate change and to weigh the likelihood of losing farmland due to socioeconomic pressures, urbanization, or soil degradation.

The interagency U. S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) launched a new online tool designed to accelerate research relating to climate change and human health - the Metadata Access Tool for Climate and Health, or “MATCH. ” This publicly accessible, online tool for researchers offers centralized access to metadata summary information that puts each dataset into context on thousands of government-held datasets related to health, the environment, and climate-science. MATCH is one of a growing number of tools, driven by open data, that are being made available by the Obama Administration, in this case, at the important intersection of climate and human health.
