Abstract: One of NOAA's FY22-26 overarching strategic priorities include building a Climate Ready Nation by 2030 (CRN).  A live virtual panel of NOAA senior leaders will discuss NOAA's unique role, capabilities, and challenges in building a CRN.  The panel will have an opportunity to interact and address overarching questions as well as answer questions from the online audience. 

• Why is building a CRN important for the American people and, in your view, what does success look like by 2030? Why is NOAA uniquely qualified to take on this role?

• What priorities and actions is NOAA adopting to move CRN from strategy to implementation? What new resources will NOAA need to build a CRN by 2030?

NELS background: The goal of the NELS is to share examples of NOAA’s role in environmental science, by those who lead it and make it happen. Since inception in 2019, we've had 34 NOAA speakers, three (3) panel discussions, and three (3) FY series. The audience for these seminars is composed of NOAA Staff, external stakeholders, partners, academia, industry, and the public. We record the seminars for later viewing, and the recordings are made available shortly afterwards through our NELS webpage. The NELS team includes Dr. Hernan Garcia, Oceanographer with NESDIS NCEI, Katie Poser, Outreach Librarian at the NOAA Central Library with NOAAs OAR, Sandra Claar, Administrative Officer with NESDIS CFO, and Robert Levy, NOAA Studio Production Manager. We can be reached at nels@noaa.gov. The NOAA Science Council sponsors the NELS.
