Executive Order 604: Establishes Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience

Executive Order 604, issued by Governor Maura Healey, formally establishes the Office of Climate Innovation and Resilience within the Executive Office of the Governor. This order signifies a structural change in the state's approach to climate action, creating a dedicated entity to coordinate and advance climate innovation and resilience efforts across the Commonwealth.

The establishment of this office implies a need for increased coordination among state agencies regarding climate policy and implementation. While no specific compliance deadlines or penalties are mentioned for external entities, regulated parties involved in climate-related sectors should anticipate potential shifts in state priorities and increased focus on climate resilience initiatives. Government agencies will likely need to align their strategies with the objectives of this new office.
