Background

Our team was tasked with researching climate sustainability and measures being taken to address the increasing risk of flooding in New York City. We spent weeks gathering data, analyzing reports, and attending conferences to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issue.

Problem

The problem we faced was how to effectively communicate our findings and recommendations to the NYC local government. We knew that our research could make a significant impact on policy decisions, but we needed to present it in a way that would be easily digestible for policymakers.

Solution

We decided to create a series of presentations that would highlight key findings and recommendations. Each presentation focused on a specific aspect of climate sustainability, such as infrastructure or community engagement. We also authored a section that would be included in a policy recommendation report to the NYC local government.

Impact

Our research was instrumental in shaping policy decisions related to climate sustainability in New York City.
The policy recommendation report we contributed to received widespread recognition for its comprehensive analysis and actionable recommendations.
X% reduction in flood-related damages within the first year of implementing our recommendations.
X number of new green infrastructure projects implemented within two years of the report's release.
