National Academies to Host Climate Change Conference

At the request of Congress, a two-day summit on “America’s Climate Choices” will be held at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., on March 30 and 31.

Top climate change experts will meet with members of Congress and the Obama administration, as well as with business leaders and representatives of nongovernmental organizations, to set the stage for national action on climate change.

To that end, they will focus on how to limit the magnitude of climate change and adapt to its impact. They will also consider what can be done to advance climate change science in order to increase our understanding of how human actions and nature interact to drive climate change; improve systems for modeling and observing climate change; and enhance the accuracy of warnings for regions that may be most vulnerable.
