Accepting applications for TWO more SPARK Summer Internship positions! 🌟
We are seeking a Climate Resilience Outreach & Program Support Intern for the Interagency Council on Climate Resilience (IAC) and a Program Research Intern for the Coastal Management Program.
While flooding may be the most visible of climate impacts, #ExtremeHeat is the most deadly. In #NJ we have developed an Extreme Heat Resilience Action Plan that identifies over 140 #ClimateResilience actions by state agencies to address this silent killer.

#ClimateResilience is an #affordability issue.
“Flooding has been a persistent problem in Little Falls. … Residents say repeated flooding of basements, garages and ground floors has caused significant financial loss and emotional strain.”
Fucking love this guy.

Some hazards are natural and unavoidable, but disasters are almost always a result of human actions and decisions. #NoNaturalDisasters

For the 500th time, #NJ needs state-funded stable funding for #ClimateResilience. We can act MUCH faster and implement NJ priorities. That we continue to rely on fed disaster funding, particularly with this federal administration, is just negligence at this point.
Invest in #ClimateResilience.
New Jersey is still in a drought warning! Reporting water main breaks to your local authorities is just one of the many ways you can help.

Did you know that 10 inches of snow is equivalent to only one inch of rain?
Despite significant snow accumulation across the state last week, New Jersey's Statewide Drought Warning remains in effect. (1/2)

The Resilient Environments and Landscapes rules that were just adopted are a critical part of the #NJ strategy to promote #ClimateResilience and protect people and property from the current and increasing impacts from climate change.

I’m deeply grateful to my agency partners who have devoted their time to the Interagency Council over the last six years. Together, we are making real progress in preparing for and responding to climate change impacts here in #NJ. I look forward to continuing that work in 2026 and beyond.

During that time, the Council has established a strong policy foundation for #NJ and implemented action across the state that make us safer and more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

A federal judge this month blocked the Trump admin from dismantling FEMA’s BRIC program, potentially saving millions in grant dollars for NJ storm protection projects.
But when, or if, that money actually comes through is still unclear. @njspotlightnews.org

Putting aside the issues with the federal proposal, NJ is not prepared for, nor is it (exec or leg) taking seriously, the potential for such a shift. Significant reforms and investments in NJ will be needed, and it is hard to imagine that happening before it’s too late. Invest in #ClimateResilience
