Stakeholders Decision-Making Timeframes

Scaling scientific products to actionable policy is essential to integrating science and decision support. When providing scientific information to decision-makers, timing is key. Too often critical information reaches the decision-making process too late, missing the opportunity for new science to inform stakeholders. As an effort to better inform the CMS initiative, the CMS Applications Team has developed a decision-making timeframe table of various carbon data stakeholders directly related to the CMS science team applications goals.

Presented in this diagram are the policy timelines from some of our Policy Speaker Series stakeholders: [pdf]
For more information or questions please contact cms_policy@cce.nasa.gov.

Presented in this table are the policies featured by our Stakeholders during the November 2014 CMS Applications Workshop: [pdf]

  • Maryland Department of Natural Resources – Maryland Forest Service
  • California Air Resources Board
  • Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District
  • Asia-Pacific Program (Indonesia) at USDA Forest Service
  • Ocean Acidification Program at Ocean Conservancy
  • Climate Change Division of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
  • Office of Global Change at U.S. State Department

Presented in this table are the CMS Projects that list short- and mid-term policies related to each PI’s application objective.
