Promote legislation to increase climate preparedness and resilience.

Evidence
The press release says Markey announced "the introduction of a package of legislation" focused on "advancing environmental justice, climate preparedness and resilience, and climate health and education." It adds that the bills would "protect seniors by enabling safer and more resilient homes."
Markey's legislation page lists S.4377 on 04/22/2026 as a sponsored bill: "A bill to require the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to establish a Climate Change Education Program, and for other purposes." The page also lists S.4376 on the same date establishing youth advisory councils on environmental issues, including climate change mitigation and resiliency.
Assessments
The promise was to promote legislation increasing climate preparedness and resilience, not necessarily to enact it. In the federal Senate context, Markey personally announced and introduced a legislative package in April 2026 addressing climate preparedness, resilience, environmental justice, and resilient homes, and his Senate legislation page confirms related sponsored bills. That satisfies the promised action during the same term, even though the evidence does not show passage into law.
