• Protection and Restoration of Coastal Habitats Yield Multiple Benefits for Urban Residents as Sea Levels Rise

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Abstract: "Globally, rising seas threaten massive numbers of people and significant infrastructure. Adaptation strategies increasingly incorporate nature-based solutions. New science can illuminate where these solutions are appropriate in urban environments and what benefits they provide to people. Together with stakeholders in San Mateo County, California, USA, we co-developed nature-based solutions to support adaptation planning. We created six guiding principles to shape planning, summarized vulnerability to sea-level rise and opportunities for nature-based solutions, created three adaptation scenarios, and compared multiple benefits provided by each scenario. Adaptation scenarios that included investments in nature-based solutions deliver up to eight times the benefits of a traditionally engineered baseline as well as additional habitat for key species. The magnitude and distribution of benefits varied at subregional scales along the coastline. Our results demonstrate practical tools and engagement approaches to assessing the multiple benefits of nature-based solutions in an urban estuary that can be replicated in other regions."

• Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4250, War Crimes Rewards Expansion Act

  Show summary     Open resource [pdf]     (open full abstract)

  From the Document: "The Department of State uses appropriated funds to offer cash awards of up to $5 million through its War Crimes Rewards Program for information leading to the arrest or conviction of designated individuals accused by international tribunals of committing war crimes, genocide, or crimes against humanity. H.R. 4250 would authorize the department to also offer awards for information leading to the prosecution of such crimes under the laws and statutes of the United States and other nations. To the extent that the act would allow the department to offer and pay more rewards, implementing it would increase spending subject to appropriation; however, it is uncertain whether and when the department would do so. On the basis of information about similar reward programs, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that under H.R. 4250 the department would pay less than $500,000, on average, in additional awards in any given year and a total of $1 million over the 2022-2027 period. That spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."
