In other words, rather than just considering the greenhouse gas emissions from individual projects, environmental impact statements are now regularly considering how a proposed project will be affected by anticipated sea level rise, increased storm surges, more intense heat waves, and the like. 3] [link].

Since the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint was established in 2010, states have put practices in place to achieve an estimated 42 percent of the nitrogen-pollution reductions and 64 percent of the phosphorus reductions that the Blueprint requires. The effects of climate change are being felt across the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
