Ocean Climate Action Plan – deadline Nov 18

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Friday, October 28th, 2022 

The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), on behalf of the interagency Ocean Policy Committee (OPC), request input from all interested parties to inform the development of a U.S. Ocean Climate Action Plan (OCAP) that will help guide and coordinate actions by the Federal government and civil society to address ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes-based mitigation and adaptation solutions to climate change. The OCAP will summarize planned Federal ocean-based climate action and the benefits of these actions, identify gaps in knowledge and application of knowledge to emerging ocean-climate issues, and recommend actions to advance the effectiveness of the Nation’s response to the impacts of climate change. The input received will be used to inform the development of the OCAP.

Responses are due by 11:59 p.m. eastern time on November 18, 2022. Submissions received after the deadline may not be taken into consideration.
