Get Past the Past: Climate Change Adaptation In & Around NYC
Climate change holds great uncertainties, but the fact of climate change is not in doubt. Cities, in which more than half the world's population now live, are ever more at risk. The New York Metro Area with its dense population, concentration of essential infrastructure systems and high-value building stock is particularly vulnerable.
This year, the New York Academy of Sciences published Climate Change Adaptation in New York City: Building Risk Management Response written by the New York City Panel on Climate Change. This report will set the terms of metropolitan adaptation analysis for cities everywhere.
Today, City government, The Port Authority and private insurers are developing risk management tools for identifying, assessing, and managing risks posed by climate change. Learn how experts think through complex urban climate adaptation issues some of which are well beyond the realm of past experience and how decisions about adaptation are being made.

Forging partnerships in the City's dense civic and environmental networks is crucial to meeting Sallan's goals. Partnering is a powerful tool for educating the public about the paths leading to high performance cities. It is also the best tool in the kit for cultivating effective action because fruitful partnerships can give birth to something new by bringing together experts with opinion and decision makers and by drawing in both advocates and skeptics.
