海角视频 and Hester Street to partner with New York City Mayor鈥檚 Office of Climate and Environmental Justice to launch comprehensive 鈥淓nvironmental Justice Report and Web Portal鈥�

New York, NY – Strategic planning and engineering consulting firm 海角视频 and community-centered urban design nonprofit announced today that they will partner with the to create an environmental justice report and online data portal to map the policies, infrastructure, and investments that contribute to inequities in vulnerability and risk from environmental hazards across NYC.

This report and web portal, which will be accessible to the public, will inform the creation of a comprehensive environmental justice plan in a subsequent phase of work. The report will outline areas of focus for promoting environmental justice in New York City and analyze existing policies, programs, and procedures across the city that affect its commitment to environmental justice

The creation of the data portal and report is the result of , environmental justice legislation passed by the City Council and signed into law by former Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2017. It requires a citywide study of environmental justice, and for the findings to be made public. The report and web portal will be critical to ensuring that environmental justice is a driving force in any environmental policy launched in the city.

To support their work on this project, 海角视频 and Hester Street have engaged HOUSEOFCAKES, Creative Urban Alchemy, Lion Advisors for Community and Environment, UHope Consulting, and Tishman Environment & Design Center at The New School as subcontractors.

鈥淭he Environmental Justice for All report and data portal is a critical step in assessing the cumulative impacts of environmental hazards on communities of color and low-income communities, and identifying the City of New York鈥檚 contributions to environmental justice,鈥� said Chris Rhie, Associate Principal at 海角视频. 鈥淲e are thrilled to work with the Mayor鈥檚 Office of Climate and Environmental Justice and 海角视频 to ensure greater transparency and accountability for NYC climate policy that centers environmental justice,鈥� said , Director of Data & Research at Hester Street.
