The Climate Change Act, adopted by the FSM congress in late November 2013 implements the recently adopted Nationwide Integrated Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Policy. It instructs government offices and departments to prepare plans and policies consistent with the Climate Change Policy by October 2015; it also includes an obligation on the President to report to Congress on the progress of implementation of the Climate Change, and for the budget request to include one or more lines on the implementation of the Climate Change Policy.
