Overview: S 2374, the Climate Change Resiliency Fund for America Act of 2025, was introduced in the Senate on July 22, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The bill establishes a new federal grant program to help state and local governments, as well as tribal communities, prepare for and respond to the impacts of climate change. The goal is to provide funding and resources to build resilient infrastructure, enhance emergency response capabilities, and support community-level adaptation efforts.
Key Provisions:
- Creates the Climate Change Resiliency Fund, a $50 billion grant program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
- Provides grants to state, local, and tribal governments for projects that improve resilience to climate-related disasters, such as floods, wildfires, and extreme weather
- Funds can be used for infrastructure upgrades, early warning systems, emergency planning, and other adaptation measures
- Requires grant recipients to develop comprehensive climate resilience plans and report on project outcomes
Affected Parties and Impacts: State, local, and tribal governments, as well as the communities they serve, will be the primary beneficiaries of the grant program. The funding is intended to help these entities better protect their residents, critical infrastructure, and natural resources from the growing threats of climate change.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been introduced in the Senate and will now proceed through the normal legislative process. If passed and signed into law, FEMA would be required to establish the grant program and begin accepting applications from eligible applicants within a specified timeframe.
