By Stephanie McCauley
March 30, 2016

SustainableSouthBronxFounded 2001 to address green space and air pollution issues, Sustainable South Bronx works to help improve environmental and economic issues in New York City through social enterprise and green job training. Their programs include the Bronx Environmental Stewardship Training (BEST), which trains low-income residents in green jobs; SmartRoofs, which trains and pays participants to install green roofs; energy efficiency assistance; and educational programs to engage students in environmental efforts.

This post is part of a series on organizations and leaders who engage in multisolving, or climate-smart policies that simultaneously work to mitigate climate change while providing co-benefits such as the ones described above.
