**New York City's Climate Projections Confirm Significant Challenges Ahead** **Albany, NY –** The New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) has released new projections that confirm the city faces significant climate-related challenges in the coming decades. According to the NPCC, the city is on track to experience more extreme heat, heavy precipitation, and sea level rise. By the 2050s, average annual temperatures are projected to increase by 3.5 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit, with the number of days with temperatures above 90 degrees expected to double. "These projections underscore the urgent need for action to mitigate and adapt to climate change," said NPCC Co-Chair and Columbia University Professor Radley Horton. The city has set a goal of relying on 70% renewable electricity by 2030, and is working on a comprehensive plan to achieve this target. As part of this effort, the city is investing in renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind farms, and promoting energy efficiency measures. The NPCC's findings are consistent with national and global trends. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned that the planet is on track to reach the critical 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) warming threshold by the 2040s. "With bold actions, we can confront our climate crisis, achieve equity, and strengthen our city," said NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio. "ONENYC 2050, our long-term sustainability plan, provides a roadmap for how we will respond to these challenges and create a more sustainable future for all New Yorkers."
