Hi folks -
Please read the email from Steve Guertin below, particularly the highlighted portion. This in response to a data call from the Department for policies, guidance, or direction related to climate
change, for which we have already submitted a draft response. I have told the Director's Office we will circle back to the Programs and ask specifically for any instances of using climate change, or adaptation to climate change as a criterion or ranking factor in project selection. We have a briefing with DOI Monday morning, so I must ask for your response (positive or negative) ASAP
thanks Seth

Thanks for the update Seth on the larger policy and other documents.
In addition, are we sure we don't have stepped down guidance or requirements in other programmatic areas such as "scores" or "criteria" for climate related to project approvals or rankings in various programs?
Thanks.
Steve
