During a visit to Palo Alto, Calif., on Monday, U.S. President Joe Biden announced over $600 million in climate investments to help coastal communities around the country fight climate change.

Biden said the Department of Commerce would launch the Climate Resilience Regional Challenge to deliver funds where communities are building projects to protect against the impacts of climate change, including sea level rise, flooding and storm surge. The investments will be funded by Biden's climate and infrastructure bills.

“I've seen wildfire devastation across the west burning more acres to the ground than square miles in the state of Maryland. That's how much got burned to the ground in all, just flying over it is devastating,” Biden said in his remarks.

The new investments will also include $67 million for California to modernize its electric grid to reduce the impact of extreme weather events such as wildfires. Last August, Biden signed a $430 billion bill that was touted as the biggest climate package in U.S. history.
