U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's 2021 Federal Climate Adaptation Plan

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's 2021 Federal Climate Adaptation Plan is a national cross-sectoral action plan of the United States. Its main objectives are to ensure that new U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)-built projects are built to last and perform reliably for their intended design lives, despite uncertainty about future climatic conditions; increase resilience of USACE-managed water resources, natural resources, and ecosystems, and the communities and economies that depend on them, to extreme weather and other events affected by changing climate, reducing recovery costs and minimizing impacts on USACE mission readiness; enable actions of local and state governments and tribal nations to prepare for and respond to climate change, partner when appropriate, and provide meaningful engagement opportunities; collaborate to produce freely available Earth system information, models, and tools concerning the effects of increasing climate impacts on USACE programs, projects, and mission areas; and increase the resilience and adaptability of USACE missions, activities, and actions in the face of climate change and weather events, while aligning with energy and sustainability performance targets and growing adaptation leaders.
