| dc.description.abstract | Building on the Statewide Climate Change Resilience Strategy, the New Jersey Extreme Heat Resilience Action Plan focuses on mitigating the effects of extreme heat, one of the deadliest impacts of climate change. Based on the research summarized in the New Jersey Scientific Report on Climate Change (2020) and the Human Health & Communities Addendum (2022), New Jersey is warming faster than the rest of the Northeast region and the world, experiencing its third-hottest summer recorded in 2022. High temperatures are associated with immediate and long-term health concerns, diminished air quality, and increased food and water supply pressures. This plan identifies the challenges associated with rising temperatures and the actions of state departments and agencies to address them. | |
