On October 7, 2021, USDA released its Action Plan for Climate Adaptation and Resilience, a framework for how USDA will prepare American farmers, ranchers, and land managers for the current and anticipated impacts of climate change. See #AdaptationInAction through the USDA Climate Hubs below. The Climate Hubs and their partners develop locally-specific tools and resources to help build climate change adaptation capacity across the country.
USDA agencies, mission areas, and departmental offices prepared Climate Adaptation Plans, released in July 2022, that build off the aforementioned Department-wide Plan and focus on addressing climate risks and implementing climate adaptation actions at the agency level.
