Creating a National Adaptation Strategy for the United States: The Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force
December 17, 2010
The U.S. Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Task Force was established in 2009 by President Barack Obama to help federal agencies coordinate and collaborate on a national adaptation strategy. The Task Force was replaced by the Council on Climate Preparedness and Resilience in November 2013. This process represented the first steps towards a coordinated strategy for federal adaptation action on climate change and led to the creation of several federal adaptation implementation plans. The Obama Administration’s executive orders directing federal climate adaptation action were revoked in March 2017 by Executive Order (EO) 13783, Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth, which was in turn replaced by the January 2021 Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.
