Homeland Security Climate Change Coordination Act

This bill would set up a climate coordinating council inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The council’s job is to coordinate DHS efforts to find, deal with, and reduce how global climate change affects the department’s programs and day‑to‑day operations, especially where impacts cut across different parts of DHS.

Key points:

• Who is affected: DHS and its programs and operations.
• What changes: Creates a council within DHS to coordinate work on climate impacts and ways to lessen them.
• Purpose: To better identify, address, and mitigate cross‑functional climate impacts across the department.
