Support for Communities to Combat Climate Change Impacts
This act establishes a grant program to help local communities, especially low-income ones, prepare for the effects of climate change. This will make residents safer and better protect their homes and infrastructure from extreme weather events.
Key points
Local governments and Indigenous communities can apply for funds to develop climate adaptation plans.
Priority for grants will be given to low-income communities and those most vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change.
Adaptation plans will include risk assessments for people, nature, and infrastructure, as well as specific protective actions like land use changes or ecosystem restoration.
