NJDEP Resilient NJ & Montclair: Take our Survey
The Montclair community is receiving support from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection through the Resilient NJ: Municipal Assistance Program. The Program aims to advance thorough climate resilience planning at the local level that aligns with the requirements of the Municipal Land Use Law N.J.S.A. 40:55D-28 et seq. and/or the State Plan Endorsement guidelines.
Climate change is a global challenge, but the impacts are experienced locally. Changes in precipitation, extreme temperatures, sea-level rise, and species shifts place stress on infrastructure, natural resources, and social and economic systems. These same impacts will directly affect public health and healthcare systems. Decisions about zoning, redevelopment, housing, open space, and other investment decisions made by local and regional governments will alter the impacts of climate change on their own and neighboring. Integrating climate change into these decisions and all local and regional planning efforts is imperative to ensure that investments made today are designed to withstand the conditions of tomorrow.
