Climate Solutions Showcase
Extreme heat and chronic flooding have become a new normal in New York City. On Governors Island, novel adaptation solutions that New Yorkers will depend on aren’t only concepts; they're reality. From recycleable flood barriers to passive cooling technology, the Trust's Climate Piloting Program supports more than two dozen innovative solutions that are paving the way for more resilient and sustainable cities.
Join us on Wednesday, September 23, to see emerging tech in action, hear the founders pitch, and connect with the dynamic climate piloting ecosystem on Governors Island.
