The Vision of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium is to stimulate collaboration among government, academe and industry to reduce vulnerability to extreme weather events, climate variability and the threat of global change. The consortium for climate impacts will bridge the gap between climate research and climate applications and will make practical information available to government, industry, and the public.
The Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium bridges the gap between…
- scientific research and applications
- researchers and users
- geophysical sciences: meteorology, hydrology, geography
- physical sciences, economics, social relevance
- climate centres in Pacific North America

PCIC's Program is defined through its Mission, Scope, Focus and Products and organized around four PCIC Themes.
- The Mission of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium is to quantify the impacts of climate change and variability on the physical environment in Pacific North America.
- The Scope of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium is the physical sciences that describe climate, its variability and change, including extreme events, in Pacific North America.
- The Focus of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium is on climate stakeholders in industry, government, commerce and communities that require climate information for adaptation to future climate conditions.
- The Products of the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium are analyses of historical trends and climate conditions as well as estimates of future environmental design conditions for the 21st century.
