NOAA Climate Program Office
The Climate Program Office provides strategic guidance and oversight for the agency's climate science and services programs, including the Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) programs. CPO's programs have three main objectives: 1) Climate Observations and Monitoring - describe and understand the state of the climate system through integrated observations, monitoring, and data management; 2) Climate Research & Modeling - understand and predict climate variability and change from weeks to decades to a century into the future; and 3) Climate Service Development - improve society's ability to plan and respond to climate variability and change.

NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), a division of the Department of Commerce, is the federal agency responsible for the stewardship of the nation's living marine resources and their habitat. NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service is responsible for the management, conservation and protection of living marine resources within the United States' Exclusive Economic Zone (water three to 200 miles offshore). Using the tools provided by the Magnuson-Stevens Act, NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service assesses and predicts the status of fish stocks, ensures compliance with fisheries regulations and works to reduce wasteful fishing practices.

Climate Impact Lab
The Climate Impact Lab consists of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago, Rhodium Group, and Rutgers University. The Lab seeks to quantify past and future climate impacts using historical climate and socioeconomic data to better understand the relationship between climate and society.
Organization
Climate Impacts Group (CIG)
The Climate Impacts Group (CIG) is an internationally recognized, interdisciplinary research group conducting fundamental research on climate and climate impacts at spatial scales ranging from local communities to the entire western U.S. region, with most work focused on the Pacific Northwest. The Climate Impacts Group is based at the University of Washington in the College of the Environment.
Organization
North Carolina Coastal Resources Commission
The Coastal Resources Commission, or CRC, was created when the General Assembly adopted the Coastal Area Management Act in 1974. The CRC establishes policies for the N. C. Coastal Management Program and adopts implementing rules for both CAMA and the N. C. Dredge and Fill Act. The commission designates areas of environmental concern, adopts rules and policies for coastal development within those areas, and certifies local land-use plans. .
Organization
Climate Leadership Initiative
The Climate Leadership Initiative (CLI) is focused on helping state and local governments address the challenge of climate change adaptation and preparedness by providing them with policy analysis, model projects, advisory services and training.

North Carolina Coastal Resources, Law, Planning and Policy Center
The North Carolina Coastal Resources Law, Planning and Policy Center is a partnership of the North Carolina Sea Grant, the UNC School of Law and UNC Department of City and Regional Planning. The Center conducts research, education and public service projects that analyze legal issues affecting the use, conservation and management of ocean and coastal resources in North Carolina. It provides informational support to state agencies, state advisory groups, local governments, the legal community and community organizations in their efforts to address ocean, coastal and development issues.
