Adapting to Climate Change

Improving our resiliency to climate impacts and to helping our communities adapt to climate change.

Executive Order 569 called for the integration of the Commonwealth's climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. The development of a Statewide Hazard Mitigation and Climate Adaptation Plan represents a first step toward planning and preparing for climate change, while the 2018 Environmental Bond will help to implement adaptation and resilience projects.
