Host: 17th Conference on Space Weather
Chairs:

As global recognition of space weather societal impacts continues to increase, numerous efforts have come into existence to advance the space weather sciences, improve and sustain observations, implement better space weather services, and integrate space weather risks into emergency management and critical infrastructure plans and sectors. These activities are national, international, and multinational in scope. In this session, we will hear from agency leaders of ongoing space weather activities and as well as planned activities, funding priorities, and opportunities. We will also be updated on the latest Space Weather Action Plan (SWAP), the status of recent space weather legislation, and agency plans to respond.
