The New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) started in 2009 and was codified in Local Law 42 of 2012 with a mandate to provide an authoritative and actionable source of scientific information on future climate change and its potential impacts.
The NPCC is an independent advisory body that regularly publishes assessment reports that synthesize several years of scientific research and analysis on climate change and advises City policymakers on local resiliency and adaptation strategies to protect against rising temperatures, increased flooding, and other hazards.
The 5th NPCC will be led by co-chairs with broad disciplinary expertise and deep experience with the assessment process and with the New York City context. Both the full NPCC and is leadership team were selected to ensure a diversity of backgrounds, research disciplines, and fields of technical practice. The Panel’s report will continue long-term assessment of climate impacts in New York City and the region.
