This is a unique opportunity to focus on several sectors of the U.S. economy to become more resilient in facing climate risks and impacts, not only for the present but also with an eye to the future. Riverside and its partners will join a conference hosted by the American Society of Civil Engineers in late June 2024 to deepen NOAA’s understanding of user needs and priorities for the architecture and engineering sector. Since May, the Riverside team has been working with the Retail Industry Leaders Association to identify priority needs for major, nationwide retailers. Later this summer, NOAA will begin working with the reinsurance industry to identify priority products and services to improve climate risk decision-making in collaboration with the Reinsurance Association of America.With support from Riverside and its partners, NOAA is conducting extensive outreach and engagement to identify needs, develop new products, support vulnerable populations, and strengthen the U.S. economy.
