Federal Agency Climate Planning, Resilience, and Enhanced Preparedness Act
The Act requires federal agencies to develop climate action plans to enhance resilience against climate-related risks. It also establishes the Council on Federal Agency Climate Planning, Resilience, and Enhanced Preparedness and the White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy to coordinate government efforts.
Key points
Federal agencies are required to create action plans addressing climate change impacts on their missions, operations, and programs.
These plans must consider public health protection, the environment, and reversing disproportionate impacts on disadvantaged communities.
A new interagency Council and a White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy will be established to coordinate policy.
The Act defines terms such as 'climate change', 'resilience', and 'disadvantaged community', and mandates progress reporting.
