Nowadays New York City faces sea level rise and
rising temperatures which are climate change-related challenges as a result of
more frequent heavy precipitation. To strengthen
its resilience, NYC is developing plans, formulating policy goals,
commissioning expert scientific advice, setting standards, and developing new
institutions for environmental governance and sustainability. Locally, through PlaNYC, the City’s sustainability
plan, the NYC administration has pursued several initiatives to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, with mostly 30 percent below current levels by 2030.
Since 2002, the NYC Administration stands out challenging climate change and
its initiatives which are the examples of best practices at the municipal
level. In this framework, this study describes the comprehensive effort to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as provides NYC’s climate change
projections and some of the potential risks to the NYC’s critical
infrastructure posed by climate change. We also discuss the future of these
policies that have been implemented during Bloomberg’s administration term.
