Abstract

The state of Rhode Island is responding appropriately to the climate crisis by enacting “the Resilient Rhode Island Act of 2014” and then preparing the revised “2021 Act on Climate.” Accordingly, Rhode Island strives to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050 by establishing and evaluating a climate change response plan and setting science-based climate goals through the Executive Climate Change Coordinating Council through consultation with the Advisory Board and the Science and Technical Advisory Board. Additionally, Rhode Island is committed to establishing industry support strategies to respond to climate change, considering future generations, including children, in the impacts of climate change, utilizing the knowledge of private experts at universities, and promoting public education on climate change response. However, matters that need to be supplemented and improved in the implementation of Rhode Island’s climate change-related legal policies include the fair and transparent selection of advisors from an organizational perspective and the securing of dedicated personnel and budget for practical work.

分析、评估罗德岛州 "2021 年气候法案 "对应对气候变化的影响

摘要罗德岛州通过颁布 "2014 年弹性罗德岛法案 "和随后编制修订的 "2021 年气候法案"，妥善应对气候危机。据此，罗德岛通过行政气候变化协调委员会与咨询委员会和科学与技术咨询委员会协商，制定和评估气候变化应对计划，并设定以科学为基础的气候目标，力争在 2050 年实现碳中和。此外，罗德岛还致力于制定应对气候变化的行业支持战略，在气候变化的影响方面考虑到包括儿童在内的后代，利用大学私人专家的知识，促进应对气候变化的公众教育。然而，在实施罗德岛州与气候变化相关的法律政策过程中，需要补充和完善的事项包括：从组织角度公平、透明地选择顾问，以及确保专职人员和预算用于实际工作。

期刊介绍： Climatic Change is dedicated to the totality of the problem of climatic variability and change - its descriptions, causes, implications and interactions among these. The purpose of the journal is to provide a means of exchange among those working in different disciplines on problems related to climatic variations. This means that authors have an opportunity to communicate the essence of their studies to people in other climate-related disciplines and to interested non-disciplinarians, as well as to report on research in which the originality is in the combinations of (not necessarily original) work from several disciplines. The journal also includes vigorous editorial and book review sections.
