Specifications include, but are not limited to: There is general agreement among the scientific community that anthropogenic activities are affecting the global climate. Climate change is a challenging energy-related environmental issue, as the potential adverse impacts are significant and far reaching. In response, New York State (NYS) has made a substantial commitment to develop and deploy energy efficient and renewable energy technologies, to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and to further the viability of approaches to prepare for a changing climate. The need for resiliency and adaptation under future climate conditions has come to the forefront in recent years. However, given the potential magnitude of climate change impacts and the complexities associated with implementing new approaches to enhancing resiliency and adaptation, many research and information needs remain. Approximately $2,000,000 is being made available through this PON for projects in two research categories related to our changing climate: (A) Energy Infrastructure Adaptation and (B) Other Sector Climate Change Adaptation.
