The American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) have announced a joint initiative aimed at supporting the National Climate Assessment, a key federal report mandated by Congress to guide policymakers on climate-related decisions.
The collaboration between the two leading scientific organizations will bolster the communication, outreach, and scientific rigor of the assessment, which evaluates climate trends and changes in the United States. By leveraging their combined expertise, AGU and AMS aim to enhance public understanding of climate science and ensure that the findings of the National Climate Assessment are accessible and actionable for a broad range of stakeholders including government agencies, the public, educators, and industry leaders.
This effort underlines the importance of scientific community involvement in climate policy and the broader role of professional societies in translating climate research into practical knowledge. The initiative comes at a time of heightened public concern over climate change and its economic, environmental, and social impacts.
Officials from both AGU and AMS expressed confidence that their joint effort will strengthen the credibility and impact of the National Climate Assessment, aligning it more closely with both scientific advancements and societal needs.
