Hannah Glosser

Director

Hannah supports the design and implementation of policies to promote inclusive decarbonization, and climate change adaptation in cities. 

As a Director based in the New York office, Hannah focuses at the intersection of climate, community planning, and housing. She advises governments, community-based organizations, and philanthropy on how to steer investments in decarbonization and climate adaptation. Working closely with the federal government, she provides technical assistance to communities across the U.S. on how to advance building upgrades in low- and moderate-income housing, tapping into new federal funding opportunities. To inform decision-making and infrastructure funding strategies, she evaluates the economic and social impacts of climate risks and climate adaptation investments for residents, businesses, property owners, and local governments. Making climate science more accessible, she engages the public through interactive open houses, community meetings, and surveys. 

Prior to joining HR&A, Hannah worked at 100 Resilient Cities (100RC), an initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation, supporting resilient strategy development and implementation in numerous cities. This also included leading capacity building workshops in cities, advising on social infrastructure projects, and training city officials and staff.  

Hannah serves on the Urban Land Institute New York Climate and Sustainability Council and Prospect Park Alliance State of the Park Board Committee. Hannah holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Colorado College.
