New York has moved into the front rank of states in legally mandating that future climate change be considered in decisions by state agencies.
On Sept. 22 Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Community Risk and Resiliency Act (CRRA), Chapter 355 of the Laws of 2014. It requires the state to adopt official projections of future sea level rise, and it mandates that in many specified state programs, sea level rise and some other climate-related events be considered. It also directs the Department of State to prepare model municipal laws for consideration of these issues.
