Media briefing: Focus on climate change in your own county

NOAA is offering a briefing for media on Wednesday, July 27, from 1-2 p.m. ET on how to use the new and improved Climate Explorer in their reporting.

The web application offers downloadable maps, graphs, and data tables of observed and projected temperature, precipitation, and related climate variables projected out to 2100. Built to accompany the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit (https://toolkit.climate.gov), Climate Explorer can help media, community leaders, business owners, municipal planners, and utility and resource managers who need to understand potential conditions over the next several decades.

The first version of the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit was developed and released by NOAA and partners in 2014 and is a direct result of President Obama’s Climate Action Plan issued in June 2013.
