NOAA’s Regional Integrated Sciences & Assessments (RISA) program supports research teams that help expand and build the nation’s capacity to prepare for and adapt to climate variability and change. From June 6-8, RISA scientists and partners will gather in Arlington, Virginia for the 7th RISA Annual Meeting. This year’s meeting is divided into five themes: processed-based planning tools for decision-making, links to public health, strengthening national security, risk across timescales, and communicating regional impact.

Four Twenty Seven’s Director of Advisory Services Yoon Kim will join a panel on “Incorporating Climate into Economic Planning” on June 7th at 1:45pm, to share her perspective on incorporating resilience objectives into economic development plans and programs. Other panelists include those from the DC Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the National Association of Counties (NACo).
