We partner with public, private, and nonprofit sector institutions to take on a range of projects seeking to mitigate the impacts of climate change, strengthen communities’ resilience in the face of catastrophic climate events, and address histories of inequitable climate burdens.
Public Works collaborates with public, private, and nonprofit sector institutions to drive investments in climate and environmental resilience. We approach our environment and climate resilience through an equity lens, supporting the creation and implementation of strategies that benefit disadvantaged communities and those who have historically borne the burden of climate change.
We develop community impact assessments using demographic, health, and environmental data to understand the existing conditions and needs within environmental justice communities and build stakeholder and community engagement strategies to ensure impactful and sustainable projects. We leverage our collective project management and strategic skills to design and implement wide reaching, multi-million-dollar green infrastructure initiatives. This includes performing hazard and vulnerability analysis and developing climate change projections and models using mapping and visualization tools to support implementation.
