Executive Order JBE 2018-16: Louisiana Watershed-Based Floodplain Management Coordination

The development and implementation of a statewide, watershed-based floodplain management program.

The Adaptive Governance Initiative's (AGI) goal is to build the capacity of agencies to identify how coastal change will affect their missions and begin the process of adapting to those changes. Through the AGI, agencies are uncovering vulnerabilities to coastal change and identifying adaptation options that address vulnerabilities to allow the agency to continue carrying out its mission. 

The AGI is being implemented through a partnership between The Center for Planning Excellence and Governor’s Office of Coastal Activities, with support from Walton Family Foundation, Kresge Foundation, Foundation for Louisiana, Greater New Orleans Foundation, and CPRA.

Louisiana Priority Climate Action Plan

The State of Louisiana, along with the Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(MSAs) of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, received funding through
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Pollution
Reduction Grant (CPRG) to develop plans to reduce greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions and other harmful air pollution. The CPRG
planning grant enables states, MSAs, and tribal governments
to develop a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP), followed by a
Comprehensive Climate Action Plan and Status Report, over a
four-year period. EPA requires that all PCAPs include a Greenhouse
Gas Inventory, quantified GHG reduction measures, a Low Income/
Disadvantaged Communities (LIDAC) Benefits Analysis, as well as
a review of authority to implement each measure.
The Louisiana Priority Climate Action Plan presents a focused
list of cross-sector measures to reduce GHG emissions and
harmful air pollution and maximize the benefits of climate action
in overburdened communities.

LWI coordinates funding, data and resources among five state agencies to reduce flood risk through a watershed-based approach, which respects the natural functions of our watersheds.
