In older buildings across New York, inefficient heating and cooling systems lead to higher energy consumption, putting additional strain on communities already struggling with steep energy bills.
Climate change amplifies these challenges, as extreme weather events like hurricanes and winter storms disrupt energy systems, making it even harder for the city to maintain a stable energy supply.

As a coastal metropolis, NYC faces severe threats from climate change. Rising sea levels and extreme weather could cause significant environmental and economic damage.
Although NYC has made efforts to reduce carbon emissions, the size and demand of the city still present challenges in achieving climate goals.

The industrialization process in New York started in the late 19th century. Though it has made NYC prosperous, it has also brought many issues, including aging infrastructure, traffic congestion, and insufficient public services.
These historical legacy issues will hinder New York City’s sustainable development and reduce the overall quality of life for its residents.

As a global megacity, New York must meet the daily needs of over 8 million diverse residents, with Manhattan’s population density exceeding 26,000 people per square kilometer—the highest in the U.S.
This intense concentration brings challenges in resource management, from rapid consumption and inefficient waste disposal to food waste. Tackling these issues is essential for a sustainable, thriving city where people and businesses can coexist responsibly.
