Community Nominations for Climate Change Science and Solutions
Leadership Positions in the New Administration

The ability of the world to avoid the catastrophic effects of global climatic disruption will depend in large part on the actions of the next US President and his Administration. In order to help assist the transition team that will be selected after the election to choose the most qualified individuals to fill key leadership positions in the Administration, the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE), in collaboration and with the support of the Presidential Climate Action Project (PCAP) invite the scientific and environmental community to make recommendations. These nominations will be held in confidence and not be published for the community, but will be provided to transition teams. NCSE and PCAP reserve the right to edit these nominations.
