It’s been close to ten years since the AMS Committee on Climate Services was very active. One of its last activities was the preparation of the AMS Policy Statement on Climate Services, officially adopted by the AMS Council in 2015. Five years later, do these statements still hold true? With respect to our world’s changing climate (figuratively, politically, socially), has the current status of climate services changed? What have we achieved within the recommendations, and are they still relevant today? This panel discussion will be an opportunity to examine the current landscape of climate services and where we want to go from here.
