Developed through a collaboration between developed through Cornell University’s Adaptive Land Lab, the Environmental Defense Fund, and UHAB, the work combines spatial analysis, survey research, and policy review to better understand both physical vulnerability and institutional barriers. The analysis identifies patterns of climate exposure across affordability-protected co-op properties and documents how impacts are experienced at the building level. It also evaluates the limitations of existing disaster recovery, insurance, and resilience funding systems, which often fail to adequately serve cooperative housing structures. The project ultimately highlights the need for more tailored policy frameworks and adaptation strategies for this critical segment of New York City’s housing stock. Please see the following blog post ︎ for more information. A copy of the report can be found here ︎. We identified the city’s most at-risk properties, under a variety of inundation scenarios, compiling a robust list of affordable housing to target with surveys. This includes the development of data dashboards to showcase some of our key project results.

Yet, the lack of reliable information to support intervention presents a significant obstacle to producing useful and reliable assessments—particularly in the global South. The following research evaluates a groundbreaking regional-level vulnerability assessment project conducted for the Indian Himalayan Region (IHR), to identify how a variety of nascent methodologies, technologies, and strategies demonstrate the potential to help bridge the key information gaps of the vulnerability assessment process. It also aims to arm practitioners with an array of tools, techniques, and possibilities given the increasingly devastating effects of climate change, on both the people of India and the world. This report was developed for the Indian Department of Science and Technology, in partial fulfillment for the requirements of a Master’s Thesis at Cornell University.

A comprehensive vulnerability assessment was first developed using GIS to outline potential fiscal, social, and physical risk. This data was subsequently employed to develop tools and models that informed potential fiscal and land use policy proposals.&nbsp; Students tackled questions related to climate change adaptation in the context of three coastal towns – Hull, Hingham, and Cohasset – located south of the City of Boston, Massachusetts. Final products are a result of collaboration between Boston’s regional land use agency, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), and a graduate-level workshop course with 11 students from&nbsp;Cornell University’s Department of City and Regional Planning (CRP).

These are then aggregated up to the block group level to include a variety of social and economic factors not available at the parcel-level scale.

Regression analyses were also performed to develop a better understanding of which factors have the most impact. This could prove useful in implementing more effective resource allocation and improved policy responses. Identifying the key determinants of the spread of the pandemic can also aid planners, policy-makers, and public health authorities in their efforts to prepare for future outbreaks, especially for those in the most vulnerable socioeconomic groups.
