Join us on Tuesday, October 1st at 6:00-8:00 PM ET at Flinchum’s Phoenix for a free public-engagement event with the National Nature Assessment (NNA1).
The Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems at the University of Georgia will host one of the first public engagement events for the forthcoming National Nature Assessment (NNA1), a nationwide collaboration to better understand the role of nature in the lives of people across the country. This event, which will be held October 1st at UGA’s Flinchum’s Phoenix, aims to bring together interested parties to discuss the Zero-Order Draft (Chapter Annotated Outlines) of the assessment, raising awareness of the project and allowing opportunities for public comment as the author teams begin their work.

Led by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the inaugural National Nature Assessment (NNA1) will evaluate U.S. lands, waters, wildlife, biodiversity, and their contributions to our economy, health, culture, climate and equity. The Zero-Order Draft is expected to be released for public comment this month and remain open throughout fall 2024. These free public engagement events will inform the content of the Assessment chapters and include information sharing, Q&A sessions, and collaborative round table discussions.
