Rochester's Climate Change Resilience Plan

The City of Rochester is committed to emerging stronger in the face of changing climate conditions and preparing for a resilient and sustainable future. The Rochester Climate Change Resilience Plan (CCRP) is a framework for strategic action to help the City of Rochester (“the City” or “Rochester”) prepare for and respond to the impacts of climate change. The CCRP provides guidance to local decision makers, agencies, community organizations, and residents to enhance resilience throughout Rochester’s infrastructure, natural environment, and social systems. With an understanding of priority goals and strategies, Rochester can dedicate resources to the assets, areas, and populations that need the most support while empowering residents to engage in resilience planning. This collaborative effort will enable the City as a whole to emerge stronger in the face of changing climate conditions, prepared for a resilient and sustainable future.
