The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration executes its mission of science, service, and stewardship and protects life and property while enhancing the U.S. economy. In 2023, the U.S. experienced a historic 28 separate weather/climate disasters costing at least 1 billion dollars. 2023 was another very active year, featuring a high frequency, high cost, and large diversity of extreme events and causing at least 492 direct or indirect fatalities. The Biden-Harris Administration has made the federal government’s preparation for and response to climate change a major priority, with a focus on improving the equitable provision of services in every community, especially the underserved. NOAA is well-positioned to play a critical role in the whole-of-government effort to tackle the climate crisis in a just and equitable way, leveraging its state-of-the-art science and services. NOAA also plays a key role in achieving the Administration’s economic goals. By fostering innovation and business development without sacrificing environmental stewardship, NOAA is helping the U.S. economy build back better and more sustainably. Join NOAA Administrator, Dr. Rick Spinrad, and NOAA Senior Leaders for a panel discussion on NOAA’s scientific priorities under the Biden-Harris Administration and the importance of engaging the entire scientific community in accomplishing these goals.
