The New York Climate Exchange is a nonprofit that unlocks climate solutions by activating a unique partner model and climate campus — coming to Governors Island.

The New York Climate Exchange will build a state-of-the-art climate campus on Governors Island, which will be a symbol of climate action and a hub for sharing and scaling climate solutions.
Rising next to to the iconic Statue of Liberty, The Exchange campus will be dedicated to 24/7 research and education related to the climate crisis.
Governors Island visitors will step off the Governors Island ferry at Yankee Pier, arriving at the doorstep of our climate campus.
The campus will prioritize innovative materials and technologies, including New York City’s first large-scale mass timber building. A sweeping solar canopy will allow the energy needs of The Exchange’s convening center to be met with onsite renewable energy.
The Exchange’s restoration of a former barracks building will transform an elegant, abandoned structure into a vibrant center for student life with dormitories for undergraduate and graduate students, common spaces, and a new public courtyard.
A grand convening hall, featuring assembly seating for 650, will be the ultimate stage for climate events that challenge in-person audiences to listen and learn from one another.
