On Wednesday, 21 January 2015, President Obama issued an Executive Order
entitled "Enhancing Coordination of National Efforts in the Arctic" to
help coordinate Arctic-related activities across the Federal Government
and enhance collaboration with State, local, and Alaska Native tribal
governments and similar Alaska Native organizations, academic and
research institutions, and the private and nonprofit sectors.
According to the announcement from the Office of Science and Technology
(OSTP), the Executive Order establishes an Arctic Executive Steering
Committee that will serve as a coordinating mechanism on Federal Arctic
activities and facilitate cohesive guidance to Departments and agencies.
The Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Dr. John P.
Holdren, will Chair the Committee. OSTP looks forward to continuing its
work with collaborators within and outside Government to apply the best
scientific information, data, and tools to support stewardship,
preparedness, and long-term sustainability in the Arctic region.
