Delaware Climate Action Plan (2025)
December 2025
In December of 2025, Delaware published their 2025 Climate Action Plan. As mandated by the 2023 Delaware Climate Change Solutions Act, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC)’s Division of Climate, Coastal, and Energy led the plan’s development. Since the 2021 Climate Action Plan, Delaware has continued to experience increased temperatures, sea-level rise, changing precipitation patterns, and extreme weather. A 2025 survey found that 55% of Delawareans had “personally experienced local impacts of climate change.”

Maryland Plan to Adapt to Saltwater Intrusion and Salinization
December 2024
Maryland’s Plan to Adapt to Saltwater Intrusion and Salinization, first published in 2019 and updated in 2024, provides recommendations for state-level action to better understand the impacts of increasing saltwater intrusion and salinization on different resources and to adapt to these impacts. Saltwater intrusion in the region is expected to worsen over time due to climate change, and the report describes which of the state’s resources are at greatest risk, adaptation measures that are currently in use and recommended, and what additional research is needed for adequate adaptation and resilience.

San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan
December 2024
After Senate Bill 272 (Sea level rise: planning and adaptation) was adopted in late 2023, the state of California now requires that local governments along the shoreline adjudicated by the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) create sea-level rise plans by 2034. The BCDC Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP) provides local governments guidance on how to draft, implement, and update “Subregional Plans,” which must be approved by BCDC.

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.
