Protecting Nature from Climate Change: New Strategies and Cooperation
This act aims to establish an integrated national plan to protect the fish, wildlife, and plants of the United States from the effects of extreme weather and climate change. This means better protection of natural resources that provide clean water, air, food, and recreational areas, directly impacting citizens' quality of life and local economies. It introduces cooperation between federal, state, and tribal governments, and other entities, to manage resources more efficiently and reduce costs.
