New York City Panel on Climate Change

The New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) was convened by Mayor Michael Bloomberg in August 2008 as part of PlaNYC and codified into law in 2012 by New York City Local Law 42. It is an independent advisory body of researchers who advise New York City about climate change, producing reports that provide short-, intermediate- and long-term projections for the city. The NPCC reports have also included chapters on coastal flooding, public health, energy insecurity, and equity, among other topics.
