Even as city- and state-level climate adaptation plans proliferate, U.S. communities are not adapting quickly enough to address the dangers of future climate change impacts, warns the Fifth National Climate Assessment, a congressionally mandated report released last year.
Some local governments are turning to data and science to make decisions about preparing for increasing extreme weather events, some through partnerships with tech companies like Google. “Impactful solutions only evolve from a deep understanding of climate science and what is truly at stake for cities in the face of climate change,” Climate Mayors Executive Director Kate Wright said in a statement.
According to a news release, NOAA will provide Climate Mayors with regional and local climate decision support services, including relevant information to help communities make decisions in the face of extreme weather or climate change-related events. The agency will also send the group updates on climate tools and information products related to seasonal and high-impact events as well as annually brief the group’s leadership on climate products, data, tools, services and other opportunities.
For its part, Climate Mayors will work with NOAA to inform its climate service development and delivery. The group of local leaders will also highlight adaptation success, contribute to case studies and lessons learned and encourage members to participate in NOAA’s monitoring and evaluation efforts.
