\nDeveloping a set of KPIs that captures the intersection between environmental risks and social equity, accounting for factors that impact both cities AND corporations would be very interesting though and is something that might make your solution more appealing for the judges đź‘Ť
\ne.g. You could look at the impact of sustainable investments from corporations in a particular set of cities - check out this paper from Vörösmarty et al to see a potential analytical framework for this
