US Intelligence to Assess Climate Change Impact on National and Economic Security.
This law mandates the US intelligence community to regularly produce assessments detailing how climate change affects national security and economic stability. While it doesn't directly alter daily life, its purpose is to ensure the government is better prepared for long-term global threats stemming from climate-related risks. Citizens benefit indirectly from enhanced governmental strategic planning and preparedness.
Key points
The Director of National Intelligence must produce an assessment on climate change's security and economic effects at least once every six years.
These reports aim to inform strategic planning; unclassified summaries will be provided even if the full assessment is classified.
