Can better data save lives during extreme heat?
Join ICF and NYSERDA for a dynamic, hands-on Heat Vulnerability Datathon during Climate Week NYC. Bringing together data innovators, researchers, community organizations, policymakers, and members of the public, this collaborative event will explore how data can help protect New Yorkers from one of the fastest-growing climate threats. Participants will identify critical gaps in our understanding of heat impacts on vulnerable populations and design innovative solutions to fill those gaps. Come connect with fellow problem-solvers, uncover new insights, and contribute ideas that can help drive more equitable and resilient communities across New York State.
