Monday Obama Administration officials are holding a public outreach meeting of the Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force in Denver, Colo. The meeting provides an opportunity for senior members of the Obama Administration to hear local and regional ideas, questions and concerns about climate change impacts, including impacts to agriculture, and to describe Federal planning efforts already underway.
The Climate Change Adaptation Task Force was organized in 2009 by the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. When President Obama signed the Executive Order he called on the Task Force to develop within one year Federal recommendations for reducing vulnerability to climate change impacts both domestically and internationally. The one-year deadline is Oct. 5.
