This chapter chronicles New York City’s and New York State’s responses to Superstorm Sandy and the climate-change crisis. After the 2012 storm devastated the city and its electricity provider, Consolidated Edison, the author conducted a mediation among the utility, businesses, consumers, and academia. The collaborative approach brought disparate interests together to arrive at a settlement to improve the resilience of the system for future impacts. These included not only anticipating more damaging storms but also planning to rebuild to withstand sea-level rise, extreme heat, and the damage to the most vulnerable neighborhoods.

Chain Model

This study aims to conduct a multi-temporal change analysis of land use and land cover in New York City via a cellular automata-based Markov chain model that uses fuzzy set theory and multi-criteria evaluation to predict the city’s future land use changes for 2030 and 2050 under potential sea level rise and long-term rainfall-runoff flooding impacts driven by climate change. To determine the future natural forcing impacts on land use in New York City, this study highlights the need for integrating spatiotemporal modeling analyses, such as a statistical downscaling model driven by climate change with remote sensing and GIS to support urban growth assessment. The research findings indicate that the mean rainfall will increase in the future and sea levels will rise near New York City; however, open space is expected to decrease by 1.51% and 2.51% and the urban area is expected to expand by about 1.36% and 2.63% in 2030 and 2050 respectively, taking into account the climate change and sea level rise.

Can Gio is only coastal district of the Ho Chi Minh City. It plays a vitally important role in contributing aquatic food in general and shrimp in particular to residents of the city. However, the shrimp farming in there has been significantly fluctuated by climate change and sea level rise impacts in recent years. By approaching community, and using several sectors into applied statistic method, the article quantitated the change of shrimp farming in the study area in times of climate change and sea level rise.

As a consequence of Climate Change sea level rise as well as a change in the intensity and propensity of rain are expected in the Basque Country. Valuing the costs and benefits of adapting to these changes becomes an important piece of information for the planning process. This paper develops two methodological frameworks. The first one devoted to estimating the economic impacts to urban areas of an increase in the risk of flooding. The values estimated for the Nervión river in the city of Amurrio (Álava) indicate that the average expected damage will increase in 15 per cent as a consequence of CC (from €56,097 to €64,451). For an extreme episode the total loss could increase to €20 million. The second framework is oriented towards the valuation of the damages as a consequence of sea level rise for 2100. The values in this case range from €87 to €231 million, that is, between €0.87 and €2.3 million per hectare.
