NOAA’s science, service and stewardship mission goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep the public informed of the changing environment around them. NOAA delivers the data, services and decision-making tools that help the world address the climate crisis—everything from greenhouse gas measurements to sea level rise projections—and connects with communities in the U.S. and around the world to keep people safe during extreme weather, drive business decisions and help build infrastructure for the future.
NOAA Communications can connect you to experts, statistics and imagery to help you tell stories about our changing planet.
