Climate Piloting Program

The Trust for Gov­er­nors Island offers unique oppor­tu­ni­ties for inno­va­tors to test ear­ly-stage cli­mate prod­ucts and ser­vices in a real-world envi­ron­ment. Select­ed pilot­ing projects uti­lize Gov­er­nors Island’s built, social, and nat­ur­al envi­ron­ments – includ­ing a 2.2‑mile water­front, 43-acre cli­mate resilient park, 7 miles of car-free streets, and 50+ his­toric build­ings – to accel­er­ate cli­mate inno­va­tion, eco­nom­ic oppor­tu­ni­ty, and social impact in diverse urban communities.

All pilot­ing projects on Gov­er­nors Island address cli­mate change through cli­mate mit­i­ga­tion, cli­mate adap­ta­tion, and/​or envi­ron­men­tal jus­tice. Projects must be tem­po­rary and be sup­port­ing prod­uct devel­op­ment and deploy­ment through real-world test­ing and solu­tions validation.
