The NOAA Blue Carbon Inventory (BCI) Project—an initiative led by the NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) in partnership with the U.S. Department of State and the NOAA Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Center—is among the first Ocean Decade actions endorsed and announced this week by the United Nations Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC).
NOAA and Boeing are teaming up to evaluate the best placement for a NOAA greenhouse gas sampling system on a commercial jet. This is a first step toward an expansion of NOAA’s global atmospheric sampling network to include commercial airliners in the U.S. and International airlines in these critical data-gathering efforts.
Although reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the most important strategy for addressing climate change, the IPCC also recommends climate interventions like carbon dioxide removal to meet climate targets and begin to stabilize Earth’s climate system.
For almost half a century, some of the most important observations of the changing Arctic climate were captured and analyzed in a cramped 960-square-foot temporary structure at the northernmost tip of the United States. Researchers have now moved into a 3,000-square foot, state-of-the-art research facility.

Data-driven tools will help communities accelerate equitable resilience.
With help from NOAA, a caucus of Chicago’s metropolitan mayors has released one of the first regional climate plans in the United States. It calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 percent from 2005 levels by 2050, and highlights ways to equitably build climate resilience and a vibrant economy at the municipal level by 2050.
Eight new postdoctoral fellows are commencing cutting-edge research projects that will contribute innovative climate science to the research community and to NOAA’s mission. These fellows are the new 2022-2024 class of NOAA Climate and Global Change (C&GC) Postdoctoral Fellows, supported by NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) and selected by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR).
On Tuesday, November 28, the White House released a coordinated national strategy, “The National Strategy to Advance an Integrated U.S. Greenhouse Gas Measurement, Monitoring and Information Service,” to measure, monitor, and share greenhouse gas information.
Several new NOAA Climate Program Office projects, focused on island resilience and coastal blue carbon among others, were highlighted during events hosted by the US Center during the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference (COP26).
