The Climate Hubs receive additional guidance and contributions come from many other USDA agencies. The Climate Hubs connect USDA research and programs in their regional delivery of timely and authoritative tools and information to foresters, ranchers, agricultural producers, Native American Tribes, Alaska Natives, Indigenous communities, natural resource managers, technology transfer specialists, and communities. The mission of the Climate Hubs is to develop and deliver science-based, region-specific information and technologies, with USDA agencies and partners, to agricultural and natural resource managers that enable climate-informed decision-making, and to provide access to assistance to implement those decisions.
