Abstract: One of NOAA's FY22-26 overarching strategic priorities include building a Climate Ready Nation by 2030 (CRN). A live virtual panel of NOAA senior leaders will discuss NOAA's unique role, capabilities, and challenges in building a CRN. The panel will have an opportunity to interact and address overarching questions as well as answer questions from the online audience. We will address as many questions as time allows.
