A resolution recognizing that climate change is making wildfires more frequent, more intense, and more destructive.

This Senate resolution states that climate change is making wildfires more frequent, more intense, and more destructive. It cites federal agency findings on longer fire seasons, larger wildfires, and an estimated $424 billion yearly cost of wildfires to the United States, and it references the January 2025 Los Angeles fires. The resolution declares that the Senate acknowledges climate change-driven wildfire risk and the need to fully fund and staff federal wildfire prevention and response activities. It does not itself provide funding or create new programs.
