Climate change and its effects pose such an imminent threat to life as we know it around the world that it is now described as the ‘climate crisis’. “NASA has unique assets it must protect – scientific equipment and capabilities that allow us to understand this climate crisis on Earth, as well as explore the universe,” said NASA administrator Bill Nelson. “Thankfully, we have the ingenuity and engineering capability to ensure our agency’s resources remain resilient from this growing threat. NASA is committed to safeguarding our mission in the decades to come, and through the data we provide to the world, we’ll help other agencies make sure they can do the same.”
