A Resolution directing the Joint State Government Commission to conduct a study on the projected costs in Pennsylvania of climate change adaptation and resilience measures needed to mitigate the projected impacts of certain climate-change-related events.

HR 90 is a resolution directing Pennsylvania's Joint State Government Commission to study the projected costs of climate change adaptation and resilience measures needed to address climate-related events. The study must use IPCC climate modeling tools to analyze costs for mid-century, late-century, and end-of-century scenarios (using 2024 dollars), covering impacts on Pennsylvania's natural environment (water, air, biodiversity), built environment (infrastructure, buildings), and social environment (including demographic differences in vulnerability). It requires examining costs linked to hazards like flooding, drought, heat, and wildfires, while specifically analyzing how these costs affect low-income, rural, and other vulnerable communities. The resolution aims to provide data for informed decision-making about climate risk mitigation, not to enact funding or policy changes.
