Extreme weather events, changing patterns of precipitation, stronger and more frequent tornados and hurricanes/typhoons, larger than normal oscillations of the polar vortex, changes in the sun cycle, global warming due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, early arrival of spring, reduced snowpack in the mountains, melting glaciers and icesheets, all are manifestations that are impacting the environment and human habitation causing serious societal and ecological problems. As such, global climate change is one of the most pressing and immediate problems facing the world today. To assist in the identification and devising of roadmaps of potential workable solutions to help ameliorate impacts of climate change-driven issues that are negatively impacting society and the world and that can be addressed within a 2 to 3 year timeframe, the American Meteorological Society (AMS), a community of 13,000 atmospheric and geospace scientists is positioned to run an information gathering activity to solicit ideas and input from its extensive network of experts, nationally and internationally. Broader Impacts of the activities will be the generation of potential climate change solutions to mitigate the impact of a changing climate on environmental, societal, and economic arenas. They also include the engagement of early career scientists and members of underrepresented groups whose lives and careers are most likely to be impacted over time. Additional activities include outreach to K-12 and the public to provide information to help them better understand the challenges of climate change and possible solutions that can be implemented. To help solicit ideas and possible mitigation of some of the serious impacts of climate change, the American Meteorological Society, the largest professional society of weather and climate scientist in the US, will run a series of broad, inclusive, and results-driven activities focused on engaging the brightest minds in weather and climate science to identify climate-related issues, with accompanying roadmaps, that can be addressed and that will result in major advances within a timeframe of 2 to 3 years. This will involve a series of virtual meetings, webinars, crowdsourcing events, one-on-one conversations, panels of experts, etc. to generate ideas and obtain convergence on potentially workable solutions to specific aspects of climate change with the biggest impacts on society and the economy. Part of the effort will focus on the socialization and promotion of translational research and its value to both climate change solutions as well as the academic research enterprise.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

极端天气事件、降水模式的变化、更强和更频繁的龙卷风和飓风/台风、比正常情况更大的极地涡旋振荡、太阳周期的变化、大气中温室气体增加导致的全球变暖、春季提前到来、山区积雪减少，冰川和冰盖融化，这些现象都在影响环境和人类居住，造成严重的社会和生态问题。因此，全球气候变化是当今世界面临的最紧迫、最紧迫的问题之一。为了协助确定和设计潜在可行解决方案的路线图，以帮助改善气候变化驱动的问题的影响，这些问题对社会和世界产生负面影响，并且可以在 2 至 3 年的时间内得到解决，美国气象学会 (AMS) ），一个由 13,000 名大气和地球空间科学家组成的社区负责开展信息收集活动，从其广泛的国内和国际专家网络中征求想法和意见。这些活动的更广泛影响将是产生潜在的气候变化解决方案，以减轻气候变化对环境、社会和经济领域的影响。其中还包括早期职业科学家和代表性不足群体成员的参与，他们的生活和职业生涯最有可能随着时间的推移而受到影响。其他活动包括向 K-12 和公众进行宣传，提供信息，帮助他们更好地了解气候变化的挑战以及可以实施的可能解决方案。为了帮助征求意见并可能减轻气候变化的一些严重影响，美国气象学会作为美国最大的天气和气候科学家专业学会，将开展一系列广泛、包容性和结果驱动的活动，重点关注吸引天气和气候科学领域最聪明的人才来确定与气候相关的问题，并附上相应的路线图，这些问题可以得到解决，并将在 2 至 3 年内取得重大进展。这将涉及一系列虚拟会议、网络研讨会、众包活动、一对一对话、专家小组等，以产生想法并就气候变化特定方面对社会和影响最大的潜在可行解决方案达成共识。经济。部分努力将集中于转化研究的社会化和推广及其对气候变化解决方案和学术研究企业的价值。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值进行评估，被认为值得支持以及更广泛的影响审查标准。
