U.S. National Adaptation and Resilience Planning Strategy
Media Note
January 10, 2025
Climate change is already impacting every community in the United States. From extreme heat to devastating floods, supercharged hurricanes and unprecedented wildfires, these extreme weather events pose direct threats to lives and livelihoods and have significant economic impacts: in 2024 in the United States, there were 27 disasters costing $1 billion or more [ https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billions/state-summary/US ], for a total of $182.7 billion in damages.
Today, the United States released a new National Adaptation and Resilience Planning Strategy, which offers a blueprint and a series of critical steps needed to save lives and livelihoods, protect business investments and our economy, safeguard national security, and help secure a healthier future for our nation, while helping enable state, Tribal, territorial, and local adaptation actions. Even as the world continues to work to limit future greenhouse gas emissions, and temperature rise, the U.S. National Adaptation and Resilience Planning Strategy will help our nation adapt to and prepare for the immediate, medium-, and long-term effects of climate change.
The United States has also supported partners around the world in building resilience to climate change. This support is provided through bilateral assistance and contributions to multilateral funds to support developing countries to formulate and implement national adaptation plans. These actions are critical to saving lives, protecting international supply chains, and ensuring the stability of the global economy.
The U.S. National Adaptation and Resilience Planning Strategy is available here [ https://unfccc.int/documents/645358 ].
Together, we must continue to work to secure a cleaner, safer, more resilient planet for current and future generations.
