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 in 2029.

The New York Climate Exchange is working to build a globally renowned campus on Governors Island where the world’s most promising climate solutions can be developed at speed and scale.
Starting in fall 2029, 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.
