State of Oregon releases plan for Climate Change Adaptation Framework
SALEM — The State
of Oregon’s new Climate
Change Adaptation Frame-
work calls for a coordinat-
ed, multi-agency response
to climate change.
The framework empha-
sizes that climate change is a
stress multiplier, unequally
affecting Oregonians. Pro-
duced in association with
the recently released Ore-
gon Climate Assessment,
the framework recom-
mends responses to climate
change in six categories:
economy, natural world,
built environment and in-
frastructure, public health,
cultural heritage, and social
relationships and systems.
The framework calls for
three immediate actions.
First,
establish
a
multi-agency
leadership
structure to set priorities,
ensure coordination among
agencies and achieve bal-
ance across the state’s econ-
omy, resources, and com-
munities.
Second, complete a com-
prehensive
vulnerability
and social resiliency as-
sessment to identify Orego-
nians most at risk and what
they need in order to adapt
to a changing climate.
Third, implement poli-
cies and processes that cen-
ter equity in all state deci-
sion making and programs.
The Climate Equity Blue-
print, produced along with
the Framework, provides
tools to assist state agencies
in the delivery of equitable
climate change adaptation
programs to underserved

“The Blueprint guides us
as we work to meaningful-
ly partner with communi-
ties hardest hit by climate
change,” said Emily York of
the Oregon Health Author-
ity, which helped produce
the Blueprint.
“As reported in the Or-
egon Climate Assessment,
wildfires, floods, drought,
heatwaves, coastal ero-
sion, and marine chang-
es will hit Oregon more
frequently and severely,”
said Christine Shirley of
the Oregon Department
of Land Conservation and
Development, which co-
ordinated the Framework.
“The multi-agency process
that created the Framework
revealed ways that existing
state programs can be lever-
aged to adapt to a changing
climate. We found the need
to integrate our programs
to harness the state’s capaci-
ty, in cooperation with local
government and our com-
munity partners, to ensure
that Oregon’s people, econ-
omy, and ecosystems thrive
in the face of rapidly accel-
erating climate change.”
The framework will be-
come part of the Oregon
Natural Hazard Mitiga-
tion Plan, which qualifies
the state to receive Federal
Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) disaster

assistance and mitigation
funds.
These funds augment
state investments to build
resilience by strengthening
infrastructure and build-
ings, and enhancing the
ability of natural systems
to withstand hazard events
exacerbated by climate
change.
The National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Admin-
istration (NOAA) provided
partial funding, allowing
the Department of Land
Conservation and Devel-
opment to coordinate the
project. Dozens of state
agency staff contributed
many hours to the frame-
work development.
Funding from the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and Ore-
gon Department of Forestry
supported development of
the Climate Equity Blue-
print.
The Oregon Climate
Change Research Institute
provided information on
observed and projected
climate changes and their
effects on physical and ma-
rine environments.

Change Adaptation Frame-
work and Climate Equity
Blueprint can be down-
loaded at www.oregon.gov/

project and its implementa-
tion.
