Description
"Equal opportunities for all New Orleanians" is 1 of 3 goals of New Orleans' Resilience Strategy. New Orleans faces significant challenges: climate change and rising sea levels, land subsidence and coastal erosion, and lack of equity and opportunity for all New Orleanians. For our city, being resilient means more than levees holding back water and wetlands protecting us from storms. It means striking a balance between human needs and the environment that surrounds us while also combating the chronic stresses of violence, poverty, and inequality.
