Staff from NOAA's Climate Program Office will attend the United National Climate Change Conference in Lima, Peru. 

Using plain language and easy-to-use tools, the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit illustrates climate-related vulnerabilities that communities and businesses face, from national to local scales, and summarizes steps they can take to become more resilient.

New research published in The Proceeding of the Royal Society - Biological Sciences provides new insights on the threat  ocean warming poses on coral growth in Mesoamerican barrier reefs.  The research, partially funded by CPO's Climate Monitoring program, used laboratory experiments to examine the adverse effects of ocean warming and acidification, and showed that the warming predicted by the IPCC for the end of the 21st century produced a five-fold decrease in coral calcification - the process by which corals produce calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and build reefs.

The Climate Program Office's David Legler and Kathy Tedesco attended the First Meeting of the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS 2020) Steering Committee in Ansan, Korea from Oct. 6 - 9, 2014.
