| Name | City of New York : Plan NYC |
| Project Purpose | Scientists have predicted that unless greenhouse gas emissions are substantially stemmed by the end othe century, climate change will become irreversible. Almost every action we take has an impact on the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. As a result, out climate change strategy is the sum of all the initiatives in this plan. All of PLANYC's strategies - from reducing the number of cars to building cleaner, more efficient power plants to addressing the inefficiencies of our buildings - will contribute to achieving out emissions reductions target. In addition we will embark on a long-term effort to develop a comprehensive climate change adaptation strategy, to prepare New York for the climate shifts that are already unavoidable. |
