Governor McKee Signs Executive Order Re-establishing RI's Chief Resilience Officer

Press Release

"While the Ocean State is particularly susceptible to the negative impacts of climate change, the Chief Resilience Officer will work to protect Rhode Island from the effects of global climate change. We are a leader in taking action and meeting the ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals laid out in the landmark Act on Climate, which I was proud to sign more than two years ago. Resilience, and being prepared for the future, go hand in hand with our efforts to reduce emissions. I am honored to sign this Executive Order to re-establish this position, helping to ensure we are taking action to protect our state, our cities and towns, and our business and infrastructure so we have a resilient Rhode Island for future generations."
