As one of the leaders of the American Cities Climate Challenge work at DA, Anum has worked alongside 25 U.S. cities and over 90 national and local partners as they have accelerated efforts to pass ambitious policies across the buildings, energy, and transportation sectors and lock in greenhouse gas emissions. Anum has worked to advance government innovation by engaging Mayors, fostering peer learning opportunities among cities, and using data and design thinking to transform the way cities work towards their goals.

Anum has also closely collaborated with non-profits to design and improve programs to drive economic mobility, the use of data & evidence, equitable fiscal health, and racial equity outcomes in partnership with local government and community partners.

In the aftermath of COVID-19, Anum supported the development of a digital dashboard that allowed city leaders and policy makers to take critical and timely action at the municipal level to ensure the health and safety of residents.
