VHB is transforming climate action in the New York City metropolitan area with forward-thinking solutions grounded in innovation, policy understanding, and a deep commitment to community. We deliver more than just compliance—we help create lasting, high-impact infrastructure that’s resilient, sustainable, and rooted in equity. By aligning funding, regulation, and design, our approach helps public and private sector leaders take significant climate action.
Climate challenges demand decisive action—and VHB delivers. Our Climate Solutions approach goes beyond identifying risk to drive impact across every stage of your project. We partner with clients to plan, fund, and implement climate-ready infrastructure that’s both resilient and equitable.
We bring deep policy experience—from NYC’s Local Law 97 to the Climate Mobilization Act—and the technical capacity to engineer practical, future-ready results. Whether designing nature-based solutions, advancing zero-emission mobility, or integrating sustainability into site planning, VHB combines climate science with hands-on delivery.
“At VHB, we don’t stop at risk assessments—we turn strategy into action, aligning policy, funding, and infrastructure to deliver climate solutions that last.”
—Ryan Prime, Sustainability Practice Leader
