- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- More than a decade after Hurrican Sandy, we are still dealing with the aftermath of it -- still repairing subways and shorelines and dozens of people lost their lives. We haven't done enough to prepare ourselves for the next climate disaster -- hurricanes, flooding, heat waves, drought. We don't know what we can do better.
- What is the solution to the challenge?
- Study how parks and librarians can be used for climate resilience. Most neighborhoods have access to parks and libraries. How can libraries help serve as shelter or a source of education? How can parks be adapted to serve as natural infrastructure?
