The message from climate experts far and wide is clear: Our future is becoming more and more dependent on confronting climate change with action and resiliency. The scientists, planners, and officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are working every day to keep us better informed about, and prepared for, the climate, weather, and environmental challenges we’re facing. 

What are the most effective and equitable ways to respond to climate change? How is climate change driving severe weather events, and what do we need to do to adapt? Where does the Inflation Reduction Act fit into helping communities build this resilience? What is a ‘Climate Ready Nation’ and what can we learn from the The Fifth National Climate Assessment?

Join us in-person on Tuesday, April 30, at Georgetown University Law Center to discuss these questions and more with NOAA Administrator Dr. Richard Spinrad.

Admission is free of charge, but space is limited, so registration is required.

This event is a special collaboration between NOAA, Georgetown Climate Center, and the Forum on Life, Culture & Society (FOLCS).
