Agenda

    The Climate and Ecosystem Steering Committee will meet and 
introduce members and staff to each other. They will receive briefings 
on the following topics and discuss the role of the Steering Committee: 
The Council's Inflation Reduction Act-funded projects, NOAA's annual 
State of the Ecosystem report and its application to management 
decisions, and implementation of the Council's new Risk Policy.
    They will also discuss the role of the Steering Committee in 
supporting the Council's participation in the East Coast Climate 
Coordination Group (E3CG) and engaging with NOAA's Climate Ecosystems 
and Fisheries Initiative (CEFI). The Committee will agree on Committee 
operations (leadership, subgroups, evaluating success). They will also 
plan stakeholder outreach about the Council's regional climate 
initiatives. Other business will be discussed, if necessary.
    Although non-emergency issues not contained on the agenda may come

of formal action during this meeting. Council action will be restricted
