Bill > HR2826

This bill aims to establish a comprehensive strategy to address the humanitarian impacts of climate change, including the admission of climate-displaced persons. Key provisions include: - Defining "climate-displaced person" and establishing a program to admit such individuals, with an initial goal of at least 50,000 admissions per year. - Requiring the U.S. government to collect and report data on climate-induced displacement, and develop a 10-year "Global Climate Change Resilience Strategy" to mitigate the impacts of climate change on displacement and humanitarian emergencies. - Providing training for foreign service officers on climate displacement and the Resilience Strategy, and requiring guidance to U.S. diplomatic missions on the humanitarian impacts of climate change. - Authorizing appropriations to carry out the provisions of the bill. The bill recognizes climate change as a threat multiplier that can exacerbate social, economic, and political tensions, and lead to forced displacement of populations. It aims to establish a comprehensive U.S. government approach to address these challenges.
