AI Summary
This bill establishes a Comprehensive Adaptation Management Action Plan in response to climate change. The plan, developed by the Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs and the Secretary of Public Safety and Security, will provide guidance to state agencies, state authorities, and regional planning agencies to address the consequences of climate change. The plan will include information on climate trends, emergency response and infrastructure resilience, economic vulnerability, and natural resources and ecosystems. The bill also creates an advisory commission to assist in developing the plan and authorizes a grant program for regional planning agencies to develop and implement their own adaptation plans. Additionally, the bill allows the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs to acquire land in coastal areas that have been repeatedly damaged by severe weather for conservation and recreation purposes.
