Climate Adaptation

  • EPA’s 2024-2027 Climate Adaptation Plan

    EPA’s 2024-2027 Climate Adaptation Plan focuses on priority actions to address the impacts of climate change and help build a more climate-resilient nation. The plan allows EPA to deliver on its mission to protect human health and the environment, even as the climate changes.

     

  • EPA's Adaptation Resource Center (ARC-X)

    ARC-X is an interactive resource to help local governments effectively deliver services to their communities even as the climate changes.

     

  • Extreme Heat Preparedness and Resilience

    EPA participates in the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS), a collaboration among federal agencies to support heat resilience in the United States.

     

EPA plays a central role in climate adaptation and mitigation by helping the nation anticipate, prepare for, adapt to, and recover from the impacts of climate change. This includes evaluating how climate change might affect efforts to attain environmental standards and identifying strategies that also reduce greenhouse gases and other pollution.
