Description:The goal of this document is to provide local governments and members of the community with a basic overview of legal and policy information needed to plan for climate change on the Hudson River.Many communities across the country are considering climate change in every planning decision they make moving forward, especially if those communities are waterfront. The waterfront poses additional threats, like sea level rise, increased precipitation, and hurricanes. Zoning, comprehensive planning, risk/vulnerabil​ity assessments, and public engagement are all within the local government’s planning authority and are important pieces of the climate change planning process. Each of these steps serve an important role that every community can utilize.
