Preface to Building the Knowledge Base for Climate Resiliency: New York City Panel on Climate Change 2015 Report
This volume is the New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) 2015 Report. It contains the Executive Summary, chapters of the report including the Conclusions and Recommendations, one appendix developed with and for stakeholders on climate risk and projections, and a second appendix that provides technical details. The NPCC 2015 Report may be found online at www.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/annals and www.nyc.gov/planycreports. It has been an honor to work with the Mayor’s Office of Recovery and Resiliency and the Mayor’s Office of Sustainability. We especially thank Katherine Grieg, Daniel Zarrilli, Leah Cohen, and Sergej Mahnovski; they are exemplary professionals committed to developing effective ways to confront climate change resiliency challenges. This report is the product of the work of the members of the NPCC and its work groups. We express our sincere thanks to each of them for their contributions, and to their institutions for supporting their participation. We thank Daniel Bader for his dedicated work as the NPCC project manager, without whom the NPCC could not have completed its tasks in such a concerted way. At the Columbia University Center for Climate Systems Research, we thank Danielle Peters for research assistance and Shari Lifson for graphics. We also thank the expert reviewers of the NPCC2 Report without whom the independent provision of sound science for climate change resiliency could not proceed. We are proud that the NPCC 2015 Report is being published in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, one of the oldest continuously published scientific journals in the United States, by the thirdoldest scientific society. We would like to thank especially Douglas Braaten, editor-in chief, and the Annals’ staff, for their partnership in the publication of this volume. Support for the printing of the report was provided by a grant administered by the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Points of view in this document are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services or the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
