The “USDA Forest Service Climate Adaptation Plan” presents a vision for integrating climate change adaptation into the Forest Service’s operations and mission. The plan is part of the Forest Service’s response to Executive Order 14008: Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, which calls on Federal Departments and agencies to develop climate adaptation plans that secure environmental justice and spur economic opportunity. In October 2021, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its Action Plan for Climate Adaptation and Resilience to describe how the USDA is preparing for and responding to current and future impacts of climate change. As part of developing its plan, USDA issued a new departmental regulation (DR 1070-001), directing each of its agencies to update its adaptation plans. The “USDA Forest Service Climate Adaptation Plan” describes the top risks to the agency’s mission, responsibilities, and operations and outlines key actions to manage these risks.
