CPO, NOAA Sea Grant Announce New Green Infrastructure Project in Underserved Great Lakes Region Neighborhoods
This initiative is aimed at improving the resilience of vulnerable Great Lakes communities to the impacts of flooding through equitable and inclusive stormwater and floodplain management.
Mid-Atlantic RISA Publishes Report on Improved Tool for Stormwater Management
The improved tool can be easily used across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and Virginia to plan, design, and build infrastructure assets to increase climate change resilience.
CPO Partners with Sea Grant to Solicit and Fund Water Equity Proposals in the Great Lakes
The proposals will support Sea Grant program projects aimed at improving the resilience of flood-vulnerable communities through equitable and inclusive stormwater and floodplain management. Water infrastructure improvement is necessary in the coming decade to prevent flooding along the shores of and within the Great Lakes watershed, especially among marginalized communities.
Upcoming Webinar: 2021 Great Lakes Climate Modeling Workshop Summary
The virtual workshop aimed to advance the state of climate modeling, translation, and integration into climate adaptation efforts across the Great Lakes region. The Great Lakes Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) team will walk webinar attendees through the workshop and some of the key findings.
New Interactive Tool: Water Utilities and Climate
Called a story map, the interactive tool provides a background on stormwater and wastewater services for decision makers, scientists, and others working with or providing climate information and data for water utilities.
NOAA’s Climate Program Office launches Climate Risk Areas Initiative
The Initiative aims to create more cohesion across CPO’s climate and decision science programs, while strengthening partnerships inside and outside of NOAA, to ultimately help advance climate science understanding and reduce impacts in a set of four climate-related risk areas.
