The IN CCIA brought together the best available climate change research into a series\n          of reports designed to help Hoosiers better understand climate change-related risks so they could prepare for challenges and\n          capitalize on opportunities. Over 50 participating organizations provided input into the IN CCIA by helping co-author reports,\n          reviewing materials, and sharing results. In total, nine topic-based reports were released on a rolling schedule from 2018 to 2022.\n        \n        \n          The IN CCIA was originally overseen by the Purdue Climate Change Research Center (PCCRC), which was integrated\n          into Purdue\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/isf.research.purdue.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Institute for a Sustainable Future (ISF)<\/a> in 2022.\n        \n        \n          Questions about the IN CCIA?
