Planning for Climate Change. Fedcenter.gov has added a new Climate Change Adaptation Program Area to support Federal agency climate adaptation planning. Here you will find the most up-to-date information on understanding and planning for the effects of climate change, following the interagency strategy for sustainability as mandated by Executive Order 13514. Climate change directly affects Federal services, operations, programs, assets, and our national security. Under EO 13514, each agency is required to evaluate their climate change risks and vulnerabilities to manage the effects of climate change on the agency's mission and operations in both the short and long-term. This process in underway in civilian and military agencies.

To facilitate the planning, the Council on Environmental Quality has approved a six step planning framework and eight Guiding Principles recommended by the Interagency Climate Change Task Force. The new section of Fedcenter.gov will provide a one-stop information source for both government and private sector professionals.
