Article Abstract
This Introduction to NPCC4 provides an overview of the first three NPCC Reports and contextualizes NPCC4's deliberate decision to address justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in its collective work and in its own practices, procedures, and methods of assessment. Next, it summarizes the assessment process, including greater emphasis on sustained assessment. Finally, it introduces the NPCC4 chapters and their scope.

NPCC4: Climate change and New York City's flood risk.
Ann N Y Acad Sci
September 2024
Basque Center for Climate Change, Leioa, Spain.
This chapter of the New York City Panel on Climate Change 4 (NPCC4) report provides a comprehensive description of the different types of flood hazards (pluvial, fluvial, coastal, groundwater, and compound) facing New York City and provides climatological context that can be utilized, along with climate change projections, to support flood risk management (FRM). Previous NPCC reports documented coastal flood hazards and presented trends in historical and future precipitation and sea level but did not comprehensively assess all the city's flood hazards. Previous NPCC reports also discussed the implications of floods on infrastructure and the city's residents but did not review the impacts of flooding on the city's natural and nature-based systems (NNBSs).

Ann N Y Acad Sci
September 2024
WSP USA, Portland, Oregon, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The text summarizes historical climate change trends in New York City (NYC) and discusses new scientific methods for projecting future changes related to sea level rise, temperature, and precipitation across different greenhouse gas emissions scenarios.
- It highlights the challenges posed by "hot models" from the 6th phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) and their implications for climate projections in NYC, as well as the factors contributing to extreme heat events and unequal heat exposure in urban areas.
- The piece identifies critical areas of risk related to extreme weather events and suggests future research opportunities, particularly in understanding the limitations of current models and their spatial resolution concerning urban heat dynamics.

NPCC4: Advancing climate justice in climate adaptation strategies for New York City.
Ann N Y Acad Sci
September 2024
Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA.
The Advancing Climate Justice in Climate Adaptation Strategies for New York City (Equity) chapter of NPCC4 builds on the findings and recommendations from NPCC3 to identify additional metrics and adaptation efforts that can advance climate justice. First, the chapter assesses the efforts of the City to incorporate equity into climate adaptation efforts since NPCC3 and describes how the communities profiled in NPCC3 have implemented and evolved their approaches to addressing the intersecting climate, environmental, and social stressors that they continue to face. Second, it adds to the historical context of climate inequity by linking the bioregion's history of colonization, land dispossession, and slavery building on emerging evidence demonstrating how historical and contemporary land use patterns and decisions shape present and future climate risks and social vulnerability, including climate displacement.
