Our Mission
Through science-based analysis, policy and program development, and capacity building, MOCR leads the City’s efforts to ensure that New York City is ready to withstand and emerge stronger from the multiple impacts of climate change in the near- and long term.

2. Policy and Program Development:  MOCR develops innovative policy and programmatic solutions to address New York City’s existing resiliency needs and to advance a strategic vision for a more resilient, equitable, and vibrant future.
3. Capacity Building:  MOCR creates tools, leads collaboration across sectors, and builds capacity to enable public agencies, businesses, community organizations, and New Yorkers alike to take climate-smart adaptation measures.
