The bill appropriates funds for a study on climate-change adaptation costs in Minnesota, specifically targeting the projected expenses necessary to mitigate the impacts outlined in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Sixth Assessment Report. An amount of $....... is allocated from the general fund to the commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency for this purpose. The study will estimate costs for the years 2040, 2060, 2080, and 2100, using 2024 dollars as a baseline, and will analyze various hazards such as precipitation, heat, flooding, drought, and their effects on the state's natural, built, and social environments.

Additionally, the report must consider the impacts on Minnesota's ecosystems, infrastructure, and public health, integrating findings with the University of Minnesota's climate modeling tools where feasible. The commissioner is required to submit a comprehensive report summarizing the research findings to the relevant legislative committees by February 1, 2025.
