Northern Manhattan Climate Action Plan, New York City
July 27, 2015
The Northern Manhattan Climate Action Plan (NMCA) was built by and for the residents of Northern Manhattan of New York City, New York in partnership with WE ACT for Environmental Justice. The plan addresses climate-related impacts on New York City’s most vulnerable populations by promoting environmental policies that also aim to address socioeconomic inequality. The NMCA recognizes “that issues of class, race, gender, ethnicity, and age, not simply rising sea levels and temperatures, must be mitigated and ultimately overcome.

NOAA State of the Climate Reports
This database produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides reports of climate-related data on the national and global scales which are updated monthly. Monthly Climate Updates from NOAA occur the third Thursday of each month, wherein NOAA climate and weather experts review key findings from the national and global State of the Climate reports. These reports are aggregated and summarized in the Summary Information section each month. The reports include data, analysis, tables, charts, infographics, and supplementary materials.

Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS)
The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) is a numerical modeling system used to predict coastal flooding due to climate change-driven sea-level rise and storms. CoSMos provides explicit, deterministic modeling of all the relevant physics (e. g. , tides, waves, surge) of a coastal storm scaled down to local flood resolution projections. The system provides coastal planners and emergency managers with hazard information to inform coastal management, mitigate physical damage, and enhance public safety.
