CASC Act

Bill 118 hr 10340, also known as the National Climate Adaptation Science Center Act, aims to address the impacts of extreme weather events and climate change by establishing a National Climate Adaptation Science Center and Regional Climate Adaptation Science Centers. These centers will be overseen by the Secretary of the Interior and will focus on researching and responding to the effects of climate change on various regions across the United States.

The purpose of these centers is to enhance our understanding of how climate change is affecting different ecosystems, communities, and industries, and to develop strategies for adapting to these changes. By conducting research and providing data-driven recommendations, the centers will help policymakers, businesses, and communities make informed decisions to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

In addition to conducting research, the centers will also collaborate with other federal agencies, state and local governments, and academic institutions to share information and best practices for climate adaptation. This collaborative approach will ensure that the most up-to-date and relevant information is being used to address the challenges posed by climate change. Overall, the National Climate Adaptation Science Center Act seeks to improve our ability to respond to the impacts of climate change by establishing a network of research centers dedicated to studying and addressing these challenges. By investing in research and collaboration, this bill aims to help the United States adapt to a changing climate and build resilience in the face of extreme weather events.
