Report: A Resilient Future for Coastal Communities, Federal Policy Recommendations from Solutions in Practice
Some key points called out in the executive summary include:
-Federal policies and programs must be designed and implemented based on the climate of the future rather than the climate of the present or past.
-Climate justice and equity must be fully embedded into new policies and programs and incorporated into ongoing efforts.
-The federal government should take a leadership role in connecting science with practice, and support and expand collaborations with state, local, and tribal efforts.
-The federal government should take a leadership role to ensure that intra- and inter-agency coordination helps states, local governments, and tribes to access available coastal resilience resources.
-Federal investments in coastal communities must be leveraged to create local jobs and help develop a workforce trained in adaptation and resilience.
-Climate adaptation and resilience work should complement and, when possible, contribute to a decarbonized, clean energy economy.
