AEG NYC Health, Energy & Equity Action Challenge
Invited speakers present a critical obstacle that needs collaboration and a near term solution: “To achieve NY’s Climate, Health & Equity goals, a critical obstacle to collectively overcome in 12 month is _.” Participants vote on which speaker has articulated the most urgent obstacle. Invited participants are strategically placed into breakout rooms to compete on developing a 12 month solution to the selected obstacle. An AEG Task Force is formed to carry out the selected 12 month solution.
