What it does
The Preparing Superfund for Climate Change Act of 2026 would amend the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund) to require that climate change impacts be considered when selecting and reviewing remedial actions at contaminated sites. Specifically, it would mandate that the potential threats from local natural disasters and extreme weather hazards—including their projected worsening due to climate change—be factored into cleanup decisions and periodic reviews. The bill affects federal environmental cleanup efforts by ensuring that Superfund remedies remain protective over time as climate conditions evolve. It applies to the President and relevant federal agencies responsible for implementing Superfund cleanups.
