Mission
The Mayor's Office of Recovery and Resiliency oversee and implement the sustainability and resiliency initiatives in One New York: The Plan for a Strong and Just City. Together with their collaborators – the agencies, organizations, and New Yorkers who make the work a reality – the office has made significant progress.
A changing climate, a growing population, aging infrastructure, and an evolving economy with increasing inequality pose challenges to the city’s success and quality of life. Recognizing the role in New York's future in shaping responses to these challenges, the office's work includes actions to mitigate climate change while also preparing for the risks it presents, ensuring quality of life for generations of New Yorkers to come.
