The Resilience Authority of Charles County is a nonprofit organization that, as a government instrumentality, is operated for the public purpose of responding to the impacts of climate change in communities across Charles County and the surrounding region. The risks of climate change are not shared equally, so the Resilience Authority prioritizes the most vulnerable communities, and all efforts are grounded in principles of diversity, equity, inclusivity, and justice. The vision of the Resilience Authority is to set a national example of climate resilience grounded in environmental justice for everyone.
