Meghan Stromberg is an Urban Resilience Program Associate I for the Urban Development program at WRI's Ross Center for Sustainable Cities. She works to ensure the overall coordination of multi-year projects within the water resilience sector and to strengthen program integration across workstreams. She conducts research on integrated urban water resilience planning and implementation, in addition to nature-based solutions in cities and locally led climate adaptation.

Specifically, Meghan has been supporting the advancement of WRI's Urban Water Resilience Initiative in Africa. This initiative has focused on working with a cohort of six African cities to overcome water challenges and prioritize strategic actions to build sustainable and adaptable urban systems. This work has led to Meghan's involvement in supporting the delivery of the Scaling Urban Nature-based Solutions for Climate Adaptation in Sub-Saharan Africa (SUNCASA) project. This project is working with urban communities to develop and implement gender-responsive nature-based solutions to address water risks in Dire Dawa, Kigali, and Johannesburg.

Meghan holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Technology with a specialization in Ecological Technology Design from the University of Maryland, College Park.
