IBM to help build new climate action center in New York City
IBM News, Monday, April 24,2023
We are proud to be selected jointly with Stony Brook University by the City of New York to anchor 'The New York Climate Exchange', a world-class climate solutions center on Governors Island in New York City's harbor.
By bringing together a diverse coalition of partners, The Exchange will be a first-of-its kind international center for developing and deploying dynamic solutions to our global climate crisis. It will also act as a hub for New Yorkers to benefit from the rapidly evolving green economy by:
- Developing a 400,000 square feet green-designed laboratory
- Setting up a Research and Technology Accelerator
- Promoting community development and partnerships including 6,000 green job trainees annually, grant opportunities, academic programs, and the establishment of a Citizens' Advisory Council
This partnership touches three important pillars of IBM's DNA: our connection to New York and our commitment to sustainability and education
