The New York Climate Change Science Clearinghouse has aggregated links to extensive climate-related information that can help prioritize future community and conservation planning efforts in the state. New York state in conjunction with federal, university and public-private institutions, has launched a new web-based initiative that provides access to key climate-related data. The Climate Data Portal is the first of its kind for any state, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation. The Clearinghouse offers access to over 1,000 documents, maps and data sets illustrating the effects of climate change in relation to topics such as agriculture, energy, infrastructure, public health and transport. It also offers tools that display potential flood zones and provides guidance on clean energy adoption. Cornell University will host the website.
