Climate Change and Adaptation in the Transport System The U.S. transportation sector accounts for nearly 7% of world greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. Department of Transportation leads efforts such as fuel economy standards, aviation initiatives, passenger rail, and discretionary grants, among others, to reduce climate change emissions.

The State of the Climate How and why is Earth’s climate changing? Have there been changes in the extremes of natural climate variability? This presentation will take viewers on an interactive exploration of Earth’s climate system and how we know what we know about today’s state of the climate.

U.S. Center [email protected]

Adapting to Climate Change: What’s Next? Scientists’ ability to observe and monitor Earth’s climate system has grown since the 1970s. What do future climate scenario models indicate we are likely to see this century? This presentation will explore how ongoing societal trends are likely to intersect with future climatic impacts.


International Collaboration for Enhanced Decision Making The U.S. leads multiple initiatives to share Earth observation and environmental information with other nations. By providing critical decision-support tools before and during extreme events, the U.S. contributes to practical local decisions for increased resilience and sustainable commerce.


Mitigating Climate Change: Observations Around the World The United States is a world leader in the development of technologies and techniques that can be used to mitigate climate change. Where can we sustainably exploit natural renewable alternatives to burning fossil fuels? Where might we increase the drawdown of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere?


Using Remotely-Sensed Data to Inform Decisions Space-based sensors help decision makers and scientists to understand climatic and environmental phenomena such as drought, extreme weather, wildfires, landslides, flooding, and diseases. They also help people assess the likelihood of future disasters so they can avoid unmanageable situations.
