S 5509 United States Senate · 118th Congress

State Climate Assessment Act of 2024

This bill requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide technical assistance and data to states that choose to produce their own quadrennial climate assessments. States participating must analyze climate impacts on environment, agriculture, health, infrastructure, and future trends (25-100 years), while integrating scientific uncertainties. NOAA must designate climate assessment coordination officers at each National Weather Service office to help states collaborate with local governments and institutions of higher education. The bill supports state-led climate planning but does not mandate participation; states elect whether to develop these assessments.
