EPA's 2024-2027 Climate Adaptation Plan is part of a coordinated effort of more than twenty federal agencies' climate adaptation plans. These plans highlight efforts across the federal government to ensure federal facilities, employees, resources and operations are increasingly resilient to climate change impacts.
The Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) is the first deliverable for the CPRG. The PCAP will include implementation-ready projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide other community benefits. Projects will benefit low-income and disadvantaged communities.
