The New York Climate Exchange (“The Exchange”) is a first-of-its-kind collaborative model for accelerating climate change solutions for New York City and beyond. Powered by its strong partnerships and future home on Governors Island, The Exchange will use education, research, an innovation hub, job training, and public programs to prepare communities to respond to climate challenges. The Exchange is based on a simple idea: collaboration works. The Exchange’s partner network includes climate experts, researchers, educators, business leaders, and community organizers who are working together to tackle the effects of climate change. Expected to open in 2028, The Exchange’s home on Governors Island will be a beacon for sustainable and resilient urban environments around the world, using renewable energy and zero-waste technologies to generate more energy than it consumes. The Exchange also aspires to be New York City’s first large-scale mass timber development and first Living Building Challenges certification. Together, The Exchange’s partner network, physical campus, and extensive offerings will explore and develop climate solutions focused on justice and inclusion; the relationship between energy, water, and food systems; and sustainable urban environments. Opportunities to explore and get involved with The Exchange will be available before construction starts.

WEDG (Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines) is a tool to make waterfronts more resilient, ecological, and accessible, but did you know that it can also help to decarbonize waterfronts too? In #WaterWire, we outline the credits in the WEDG rating system that promotes decarbonization of projects for a more sustainable future. Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/guj9YYuu

Greatly enjoyed my COP29 Azerbaijan chat this morning with part of the Duke University team attending COP. We talked about Duke’s involvement as a key academic partner in The New York Climate Exchange, what we hope to work on in the coming years, and — most pertinent for this week — tips for how to navigate COP and (try to) make sense of the negotiations. Always great to meet with those ready to bring new ideas to this complicated and often opaque process. Enjoy your time in Baku, Sayra Martinez, Sameer Swarup, Dima Zlenko, Livia Hoxha, and Gabriela Nagle Alverio!

?? My main takeaways from last week’s World Urban Forum in Cairo, Egypt ???? where many partners & friends of The New York Climate Exchange were active showcasing solutions for more resilient and sustainable cities. ??With massive financing gaps for sustainable development, we need to look to international and domestic capital markets and prepare infrastructure projects to be ‘investment-ready.’ ??Most municipalities don’t work within a PPPs framework because they lack credit worthiness. This calls for the deployment of ‘subs-sovereign’ financial instruments specific to the city that municipalities can access directly. ??MDBs can operate by connecting cities’ strategic planning with investments and project delivery. Along with national and subnational development banks MDBs can help mobilize capital markets, help municipalities cultivate networks, strengthen knowledge, and build capacity. ??Urban resilience to climate adaptation is central. Large scale investments are needed, but projects need to be tailored to local contexts via the development of appropriate parameters. Thanks to the active and enlightening engagement of Georgia Institute of Technology, CDP, Climate Policy Initiative/Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA), Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM), UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme), EBRD, among many others!

The future is exciting, the future starts now, the future is here! Great day on Governor’s Island to join the Trust for Governors Island, Billion Oyster Project, Council Member Marte & NYC School Construction Authority (SCA) for the New York Harbor School expansion groundbreaking! This expansion includes a new pool that will contribute to swim safety and professional diving skills essential for #blueeconomy careers. We aren’t going back on #climate. Thrilled to see The New York Climate Exchange partners advancing great work and focus on skills for students that will enable a climate resilient future.
The outcome of this election underscores the deep challenges we face in uniting around a shared vision for #climateaction.? We face this moment in a markedly different place than we were eight years ago. On one hand, climate-related disasters are more severe and frequent, and public expectations for a strong and sustained government response to these crises are growing. On the other hand, profound progress in clean energy markets have led to tipping points that make the transition to a green and blue economy inevitable. Knowledge and awareness of the risks of inaction is also growing, albeit in geographically uneven ways. We're also heartened to see climate plans in place at all levels of government and within corporations. The New York Climate Exchange, alongside our 48 partners, emerges from this election with renewed clarity on the following realities: - Climate change is indifferent to political cycles. Changes in political leadership will not alter the declarations of drought or strength of hurricanes brewing off our shores. - Momentum in climate investment is on a positive upward trend line, but political signals do have an impact on the level of investor commitment. - Science must be supported, elevated and communicated in ways that resonate with Americans, enhancing their understanding of its impact on their lives and the future of those they love.
