SUMMARY: Travis County, Texas is partnering with FUSE to develop a climate resilience plan to prepare for extreme weather due to climate change. The county experienced its second hottest summer in 2023, and a recent climate assessment predicts that the number of 100-degree days will double by 2050 and triple by 2100.

This plan is important for increasing community climate resilience and addressing the needs of at-risk populations in Travis County.
