This risk area, focused on extreme heat, is one of four initial risk areas; the others are coastal inundation, marine ecosystems, and water resources.
Extreme heat in urban areas presents society with significanteconomic, health, safety, and security challenges. As part of the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration (NOAA) climate portfolio within the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), the Climate Program Office (CPO) addresses this and otherclimate challenges by managing competitive research programs through which high-priority climate science, assessments, decision support research, outreach, education, and capacity-building activities are funded to advance our understanding of the Earth’s climate system, and tofoster the application and use of this knowledge to improve the resilience of our Nation and itspartners.Through this announcement, CPO is seeking applications for a single competition in FY21.This competition supports a high-priority climate risk area that CPO is organizing some of itsactivities around to improve science understanding and/or capabilities that result in user-drivenoutcomes. This risk area, focused on extreme heat, is one of four initial risk areas; the others are coastal inundation, marine ecosystems, and water resources.
