| Abstract | NYC-EJA analyzed OneNYC using the following five themes: (1) climate adaptation and mitigation, (2) equity and infrastructure, (3) public health, (4)
community preparedness, and (5) community-based planning. We also looked at major accomplishments and pending goals from Bloomberg’s Special Initiative for Rebuilding and Resiliency: A Stronger, More Resilient New York (SIRR) under each of these five themes, as well as the extent of interagency planning and coordination reflected in OneNYC. Finally, we highlighted the initiatives that some community-based, environmental justice organizations (i.e., NYC-EJA members and allies) are pursuing to build climate justice in New York City – initiatives that complement and in some cases even exceed OneNYC’s goal
of building an equitable and resilient city. City government should embrace and support
grassroots climate justice initiatives by partnering with these local visionaries.
