From Insight to Ordinance: Data-Driven Policy & Nature-Based Solutions for Urban Climate Resilience
Join us during Climate Week NYC to learn about the Smart Surfaces Coalition's collaborative, data-driven approach to transforming city surfaces—from risk mapping and surface characterization to benefit-cost analysis and policy implementation. SSC has created a comprehensive platform for data-driven policymaking on climate resilience, beginning with micrometeorological modeling, geospatial mapping and querying, benefit-cost analysis, and a searchable policy database with model ordinances and policy guidance.
