Like Sydney, and many major cities around the world, New York is grappling with the challenge of rising coastal hazards, increasing rainfall, and longer and more dangerous heat waves - risks that are being exacerbated by climate change.
In response, the New York City Mayor's Office has developed a US$20 billion program to make much needed changes to the city's built environment-and its sense of community. Supported by a panel of climate change academics and practitioners, and in partnership with the Federal Government, New York's vision is to create a more resilient and equitable city - ensuring a vibrant city for New Yorkers today and generations ahead.
