Connections Between Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning in New York City

I examine how climate change science has been connected with climate change adaptation action and resilience planning in New York City. The City�s Panel on Climate Change has worked in close collaboration with City decision-makers. Through this action, critical linkages between the science and policy realms are defined. The paper discusses these linkages and associated challenges and opportunities. An overall model of city-based science panel-decision-maker interaction is presented.
