OUR CHANGING PLANET: THE FY 1990 RESEARCH PLAN. THE U.S. GLOBAL CHANGE RESEARCH PROGRAM. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The President transmitted to the Congress in early 1989 a report entitled "Our Changing Planet: A U.S. Strategy for Global Change Research." This report outlined the goals and objectives of the U.S. Global Change Research Program and recommended that a comprehensive research plan be developed to further integrate Federal global change research activities. In response, a comprehensive research plan, entitled "Our Changing Planet: The FY 1990 Research Plan," has been developed for the U.S. Global Change Research Program. This document is the Executive Summary of the Research Plan. In addition to information included in the original strategy document, the Executive Summary also includes identification of the key scientific questions, the priorities among research needs, and identification of specific agency roles. Both the strategy document and the Executive Summary cover the Program's FY 1989-1990 activities. The purpose of this Executive Summary and the Research Plan is to present the FY 1990 program in the priority framework that has been developed over the past year. This format will be the basis for the Program in FY 1991 and future years.
