Oregon Global Warming Commission 2009 Report to the Legislature
This progress report, while mainly directed at mitigation recommendations for which action by the state legislature is needed, summarizes other recommendations not requiring legislation to proceed, such as: internalizing climate change adaptation into agency work programs; coordinating, prioritizing, and funding research; updating the Oregon Conservation Strategy; developing an integrated water management plan; and funding efforts to reduce risks of uncharacteristic forest fires (Resolution Number 2008-5-007).
Land use policy recommendations affecting both mitigation and adaptation are included in the report, although not requiring legislative action. Additionally, the Commission seeks funding from the state legislature in order to fulfill its oversight duties as outlined in the originating 2007 legislation (House Bill 3543), including preparing the state's communities and ecosystems for the impacts of climate change.
