This page provides an overview of the steps Oregon is taking to prepare for the impacts of climate change.
In 2006, Governor Ted Kulongoski established the Governor’s Climate Change Integration Group (CCIG), with representation from industry leaders, nonprofit organizations, and representatives from federal, state, and local government. In 2008, CCIG produced a report, Oregon’s Framework for Addressing Rapid Climate Change. The report articulated high-level principles and recommendations for adaptation planning in the state. In October 2009, Governor Kulongoski asked state agencies and partners in Oregon’s university system to develop an initial framework to determine the most important climate-related risks to the state and make recommendations for how the state could prepare for those risks. In response, the state published the Oregon Climate Change Adaptation Framework in December 2010 (“2010 Framework”).
