![]() The first priority of innovation relies on continuing NASA’s 60+ years of Earth science studied not only from space – but also through airborne research, direct measurements and field campaigns. The strategy lays out four key priorities for the agency to aide with the integration of climate across NASA: innovate, inform, inspire, and partner. “This strategy will help NASA integrate our understanding of climate across the agency and in our partnerships to better serve the public.” “The climate and Earth system are changing, and this impacts not only what science we need, but also how we think about our operations and mission safety,” said Kate Calvin, NASA’s chief scientist and senior climate advisor. ![]() The strategy assesses NASA’s climate portfolio across the agency for the first time, extending beyond science and exploration efforts to include every mission directorate and NASA facility. “NASA’s climate strategy is a declaration of our continued commitment to lead on climate – and how we intend to do so.”Ī PDF version of the full “Advancing NASA’s Climate Strategy” document is available here. That is simply an indisputable fact, underscoring the need for bold action to protect our planet,” said Administrator Bill Nelson. “The last nine years have been the hottest ever recorded. Recognizing that the challenges of today and tomorrow require an agency-wide effort, NASA’s Office of the Chief Scientist established a cross-agency working group and released “Advancing NASA’s Climate Strategy.” Local events can have global impacts and global events impact local communities. Today, with more than two dozen Earth-observing satellites and instruments, it’s clearer than ever that our planet is an interconnected system. ![]() NASA has been working to better understand our home planet from the unique vantage point of space since the first TIROS satellites launched in the 1960s.
