Governor Murphy Signs Executive Order to Establish Statewide Climate Change Resilience Strategy

Governor Phil Murphy marked the seventh anniversary of Superstorm Sandy by signing Executive Order No. 89 to establish a Statewide Climate Change Resilience Strategy. The Executive Order also establishes a Climate and Flood Resilience Program within the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, which will be led by a Chief Resilience Officer. Additionally, the Executive Order creates an Interagency Council on Climate Resilience, comprised of 16 state agencies to develop short- and long-term action plans that will promote the long-term mitigation, adaptation, and resilience of New Jersey’s economy, communities, infrastructure, and natural resources.

“Since taking office, it has been a top priority of my Administration to reestablish New Jersey’s role as a leader in the fight against climate change and resume many of the climate change initiatives that were dismantled by the Christie Administration,” said Governor Murphy. “New Jersey is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of sea-level rise and global warming, and today’s Executive Order outlines a bold and comprehensive set of actions to ensure that our communities and infrastructure are more resilient against future storms."
