New York City's Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) says the city is moving ahead with the implementation of its resiliency plan, based on the findings of a recently released report on climate change that predicts New York City's sea level could rise as much as 6 ft by 2100. Among city programs going forward are the $335-million Lower East Side integrated flood protection system and the estimated $100-million shoreline investment program to protect the most vulnerable waterfront communities.
公告是由2月17日发布纽约市气候变化小组2015年的报告“建立气候弹性知识库”的结果，该报告首次通过2100提供气候预测，以进行2100和海平面上升。
The 150-page report also includes new coastal flood-risk maps; enhanced dynamic flood-inundation modeling of predicted coastal flooding; and a process for enhancing a system for city climate-resiliency indicators and monitoring.

The city already has repaired bulkheads and rebuilt dunes and city beaches damaged by 2012's Superstorm Sandy. The electric utility Consolidated Edison has invested $1 billion to harden critical assets. The city also has updated building and zoning codes, including 16 local laws to improve residential and commercial-building resilience.
