Advancing scientific understanding of climate, improving society’s ability to plan and respond
NOAA programs and partners played a key role throughout the planning and implementation of the event, providing technical insight and sharing research findings relevant to island solutions.
This effort supports a broader initiative between NOAA and DOS designed to bring science and stewardship to bear on island resilience, foster efforts to build a blue economy and support the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE).
This work helps link NOAA’s capabilities with islands including U.S. territories and APIs in support of resilience and addresses climate resilience and sustainable development.
CPO’s Adaptation Sciences Program will lead a U.S. Center side event highlighting two international partnerships, the Local2030 Islands Network and the Renewable Energy for Latin America and the Caribbean (RELAC) initiative, as well as their U.S. Federal Agency and international partners, working towards ambitious and necessary net-zero and climate resilience goals during COP27.
Through this partnership with the Local2030 Islands Network, NOAA is advancing a whole-of-government approach to supporting adaptation and resilience for island nations.
