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 to accel­er­ate cli­mate inno­va­tion, eco­nom­ic oppor­tu­ni­ty, and social impact for cities. 

All pilot­ing projects on Gov­er­nors Island address one or more of the following: 

• Cli­mate Mit­i­ga­tion: Does it reduce harm­ful emis­sions that cause cli­mate change?
• Cli­mate Adap­ta­tion: Does it main­tain a safe, com­fort­able envi­ron­ment for every­day life in a chang­ing climate?
• Envi­ron­men­tal Jus­tice: Does it address adap­ta­tion or mit­i­ga­tion while cen­ter­ing human health, the envi­ron­ment, or cli­mate change in front­line communities?

Projects are all tem­po­rary and intend­ed to sup­port prod­uct or ser­vice devel­op­ment through test­ing and solu­tions validation.
