• Action Plan
• The Climate Change and Carrying Capacity Program is the first major interdisciplinary initiative undertaken by the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES). The ultimate goal of CCCC is to forecast the consequences of climate variability on the ecosystems of the subarctic Pacific.

1. Integrate and stimulate national activities on the effects of climate variations on the marine ecosystems of the Subarctic North;
2. Determine how the work of PICES Scientific Committees and Working Groups can support the program;
3. Identify national/international research programs with which the CCCC Program could coordinate;
4. Provide scientific direction.
