In April 2023, following a two-year competitive process, NYC Mayor Eric Adams and the Trust for Governors Island announced The New York Climate Exchange was selected to develop a first-of-its-kind model for developing and implementing solutions to the global climate crisis in New York and around the world.
The Exchange, anchored by Stony Brook University, includes several prominent core and affiliate partners including RIT, IBM, Georgia Institute of Technology, Pace University, Pratt Institute, the University of Washington, Duke University, Moody’s Corporation, SUNY Maritime College, Oxford University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, GE, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and Simons Foundation.
Now operational, The Exchange strives to be a global hub that leverages the collective power of education, research, workforce development, policy development, and public programming to advance climate action at the local, national, and global level.
RIT’s work with The Exchange focuses on our commitment to sustainability and will provide opportunities for faculty, students and staff to work with colleagues across the globe to address some of the most pressing challenges brought about by climate change.
