|a Climate change poses significant risks to New York City’s communities
and infrastructure. Hurricane Sandy has focused attention on the effects
that extreme climate events have on New York City, reminding
New Yorkers that the city is vulnerable to a range of climate hazards
today and in the future.
To help respond to climate change in New York City and accomplish the
goals outlined in PlaNYC, the City’s long-term sustainability plan, Mayor
Bloomberg convened the First New York City Panel on Climate Change
(NPCC1) in 2008. The NPCC – a body of leading climate and social scientists
and risk management experts – was charged with advising the
Mayor and the New York City Climate Change Adaptation Task Force on
issues related to climate change and adaptation. It produced a set of
climate projections specific to New York City.
Following Hurricane Sandy, Mayor Bloomberg convened the second
New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC2) in January 2013 to
provide up-to-date scientific information and analyses on climate risks
for use in the Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resiliency (SIRR). In
response to the Mayor’s charge to the Panel, this Report provides new
climate change projections and future coastal flood risk maps for New
York City. This climate risk information is designed to inform community
rebuilding plans, and help to increase current and future resiliency
of communities, and citywide systems and infrastructure to a range of
climate risks. |
