AI Summary
This bill establishes a Global Climate Change Resilience Strategy to mitigate the impacts of climate change on displacement and humanitarian emergencies. It authorizes the admission of "climate-displaced persons" - people who are forced to leave their homes due to sudden or progressive changes in the environment. The bill also requires data collection and reporting on climate-related displacement, provides training for Foreign Service Officers on climate displacement, and offers guidance to U.S. diplomatic missions on the humanitarian impacts of climate change. Additionally, the bill creates a new category for the admission of climate-displaced persons, similar to the refugee admissions program.
