Priority Areas for the Office of Resilience & Sustainability

New Orleans is on the frontlines of climate change.  The devastation from Hurricane Ida in 2021 reminded us of the risks of an increasingly volatile climate and the need to build strong and lasting infrastructure that can adapt.  By integrating initiatives that reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and help the City adapt to climate change into our economic agenda, we can create new, environmentally-friendly economic opportunites that reduce our risk and improve the long-term health and vitality fo our city.
