Emily Nabong has won first place in The Warren Centre’s Humanitarian Innovation Awards Pitch for her project, Empowering Climate Resiliency with an Interactive Policy Tool.
Emily’s tool lets policy makers simulate the long-term effects of climate change adaptation choices in a risk-free virtual environment, tracking how decisions play out across metrics including water needs, housing, land use and reclamation, health, and income. The tool builds on her PhD research into the habitability of Pacific Island nations under climate change, translating systems modelling into a format that decision-makers can explore directly. Watch her winning pitch below. Congratulations Emily!
