A climate change-themed boat tour of Manhattan – what will we see?
We will cruise by green buildings, sustainable parks, renewable energy sites, post Superstorm Sandy flood walls, resiliency measures, recycling plants...
The tour will address the pressing need for sustainable design and greater resiliency. It delves into how New York City is reducing fossil fuel consumption, strengthening its natural habitats, and reimagining its transportation infrastructure.
We also explore the importance of the environmental justice movement in New York City.
Why are you excited to be part of Climate Week NYC?
How can the city reduce greenhouse gas emissions, build climate-resilient infrastructure, improve the health of our ecosystems?
Through our 2.75-hour Climate Change Tour, we hope to show people how New York City is responding to climate change challenges through innovative design, infrastructure, and policy.
What are you hoping people will take away from the tour?
By exploring the city’s evolving skyline and waterfront from the water, we aim to highlight the collaborative efforts of architects, planners, engineers, and communities working together to build a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable urban future.
Our Climate Week NYC goal is to raise awareness and inspire action around the challenges of climate change.
