The CDPA would create a visa-based process for individuals displaced by climate change to apply for admission to the United States. It would also create a Global Climate Change Resilience Strategy to coordinate government efforts to support front-line communities worldwide from the harms of climate-related hazards. While current pathways like the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and humanitarian parole can be better utilized to offer protection for those displaced by climate change, a climate-specific pathway codified in law directly addresses the human mobility impacts of climate change.
