Conveners
The New York City Policy Forum is a project of three organizations:
The Climate and Community Institute (CCI) is a progressive think tank focused on the intersection of climate and economic policy, with a large network of experts and a track record of successful partnerships with trade unions, elected officials, and movement organizations.
The Fiscal Policy Institute (FPI) is one of New York’s leading tax and budget think tanks. Since 1991 it has been advising legislators, labor, advocates, and the public on the most pressing issues of state and city economic policy, tax policy, and budgetary debates.
Phenomenal World (PW) is a leading venue for cutting edge research and writing on international political economy, with staff in the US, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and the UK.
