National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine

1863

Now jointly governed by all three academies, it produces some 200 publications annually which are published by the National Academies Press. == History == The US National Academy of Sciences was created by an Act of Incorporation dated March 3, 1863, which was signed by then President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.

By the terms of the original 1863 Congressional charter, the three academies serve pro bono as "advisers to the nation on science, engineering, and medicine." ==Program units== The program units, formerly known as the National Research Council, are collectively the operating arm of the three academies for the purpose of providing objective policy advice.

The NRC was first formed in 1916 as an activity of the NAS.

All subsequently affiliated organizations have been created under this same overall congressional charter, including the two younger academies, National Academy of Engineering (NAE) (created in 1964) and NAM (created as the Institute of Medicine in 1970 and rechartered as NAM in 2015). Under this same charter, the National Research Council was created in 1916.

1917

These recommendations were accepted by the War Department in June 1917, although the plants were not completed prior to the end of the war.

When war was first declared, the Council had organized committees on antisubmarine and gas warfare. On June 1, 1917, the council convened a meeting of scientific representatives of the United Kingdom and France with interested parties from the U.S.

1918

In 1918, Wilson formalized the NRC's existence under Executive Order 2859.

Another meeting with the British and French was held in Paris in October 1918, at which more details of their work was disclosed.

The IPCC's conclusion that most of the observed warming of the last 50 years is likely to have been due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations accurately reflects the current thinking of the scientific community on this issue. In 2013, the NRC published the report Abrupt Impacts of Climate Change: Anticipating Surprises, which provided an updated look at the issue of abrupt climate change and its potential impacts.
