The Urban Systems Lab has made significant contributions to the 4th assessment of the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC4). The assessment provides crucial insights into the state of climate change science and its implications for adaptation and mitigation policies in New York City. As part of the NPCC4, USL researchers have been actively involved in several working groups, focusing on topics such as Climate Science, Equity, Flooding, Futures and Transitions, Energy and Energy Insecurity, and Health. By centering equity as a shared focus across all working groups, the assessment aims to address the uneven impacts and vulnerabilities associated with climate change policy responses. The findings and recommendations from the NPCC4 assessment will provide critical information for the city to prioritize adaptation and mitigation strategies, ensuring a more resilient and sustainable future for all New Yorkers.
