National Strategy Team
The National Strategy Team guides the development of the Climate Ready America system by making decisions and solving problems within the system that are national or system-wide in nature. It is growing and will be made up of experts in climate adaptation, mitigation, and environmental justice. These members will share a commitment to the 10 guiding principles for a nationwide system of climate services and the Living System organizational management model. Team members work closely with the Geos Institute board and staff to support the ongoing evolution of the Climate Ready America system.
