The situation of climate change has prompted archival institutions worldwide to enhance their adaptability to it.The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) of the United States was one of the first to introduce relevant policies and has continued to update them,thus warranting a focused study.Firstly,this paper systematically traces the development of NARA's climate-related work plans,clarifying the origins and evolution of the Climate Action Plan.Secondly,it analyzes the Climate Action Plan and its corresponding practices,summarizing its content and characteristics as follows,organic integration with agency missions and regulatory standards,clear prioritization of actions,responsibilities,and practical methods,as well as transparent implementation processes with exemplary cases.Finally,implications are proposed for enhancing the adaptability of China's archival institutions to climate change,policies should provide both macro-level guidance and micro-level implementation;work priorities should be clearly defined based on local conditions and changing times;and phased evaluations and summaries should be conducted to dynamically adjust strategic plans.
