The full report provides climate change projections for New York State and discusses the impacts of those projections and potential response strategies for sectors across the state. Please note that these have been updated in the 2024 New York State Climate Impacts Assessment.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) tracks the participation of local governments in the state’s Climate Smart Communities (CSC) Program. The dataset lists the CSC status of participating communities (Registered or Certified) and the date associated with that status, as well as the location of the community by county and region. DEC is one of six state agencies that sponsor the CSC Program. For a more up-to-date list of participating communities, please visit https://climatesmart.ny.gov/

The preferred citation when using this dataset is: Stevens, A., & Lamie, C., Eds. (2024). New York State Climate Impacts Assessment: Understanding and preparing for our changing climate. The New York State Climate Impacts Assessment is an investigation into how climate change will affect New York State’s communities, ecosystems, and economy. The data and information presented will help New Yorkers plan and prepare for the impacts of climate change. The assessment also strives to show how addressing climate change provides opportunities to enhance equity and reduce the vulnerability of those most at risk.

As part of the assessment, Columbia University developed climate change projections for temperature and precipitation, extreme events, degree days, and sea level rise, downscaled to 12 regions of New York State. This dataset includes those projections of future climate conditions in New York State, for the 2030s through 2100.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help New Yorkers increase energy efficiency, save money, use renewable energy, accelerate economic growth, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

The NYSERDA-funded Integrated Energy Data Resource (IEDR) provides a single statewide platform to securely collect, integrate, analyze, and make accessible a large and diverse set of energy-related information from New York's electric, gas, and steam utilities and other sources. Useful access to useful energy data provided by the IEDR enables analyses that informs investment decisions, identifies operational inefficiencies, monitors the effectiveness of policy objectives, promotes innovation, and encourages new business models.

The IEDR includes analytic tools to enable energy stakeholders to design and run useful queries and calculations that can operate across all data types in the IEDR. Those tools' number and functionality should increase over time to align with, and support the use cases, that become operational as part of the IEDR. Additionally, relational information that describes the relationships among the various data elements in the IEDR materially affects the depth potential of users' ability to find, analyze, and generate useful information. User access to the IEDR data and analytic tools will be governed by the access controls that reflect and align with each type of user's legitimate needs while preventing unwarranted access to information that does not serve those legitimate needs.

Public, utility-managed, and commercial datasets processed by the platform and made available or planned to be made available to approved users in various forms include:
• Feeder and sub-feeder hosting capacity
• Installed and queued DER projects
• Utility Rates and Tariffs
• Customer billing and usage
• Aggregated building usage
• Disadvantaged Community Characteristics
• Land, Parcel, and Terrain attributes
