Progress on Region 3 Priority Climate Actions
The EPA Region 3 Climate Adaptation Implementation Plan (leer en español) is action-oriented, focusing on programmatic and cross-programmatic activities that bolster climate resilience in Mid-Atlantic environmental work.
This webpage will track the progress of each Priority Action described in the Plan and will be updated quarterly.
Each Priority Action follows a consistent template that describes the action, including metrics, challenges, and co-benefits, and clearly links the action to 1) climate impacts and threats identified in the vulnerability assessment and 2) overarching priority goals (see below for more details).
Climate Impacts and Threats Identified in the Vulnerability Assessment
These impacts are described more fully in Chapter 2 of the EPA Region 3 Climate Adaptation Implementation Plan
Overarching Priority Goals
Based on the actions developed for the EPA Region 3 Climate Adaptation Implementation Plan, five overarching climate adaptation goals were identified. Each of the actions in the plan address one or more of these goals.
