Governors Island, once home to the Coast Guard, will soon become a place where scientists, corporations, and public interest groups can come together to find solutions to climate change, NBC New York reports.
The New York Climate Exchange on Governors Island, set to open in 2028, will be "a first-of-its-kind model for developing solutions to the global climate crisis through education, research, workforce training, and community programs," according to a Duke University press release.
"We will be part of a larger ecosystem of partners who will bring our working examples to New York, learn from others, and bring those lessons home to Durham and beyond," says Toddi Steelman, vice president and vice provost for climate and sustainability at Duke.
