Pratt Institute’s Center for Climate Adaptation is running its second consecutive round of exhibitions and a panel for NYC Climate Week. It is conceived, timed and convened on the parallel occasion of the UN Summit of the Future. The panel, which will take place at the Admiral’s House, will include leadership of the New York Climate Exchange, The Trust for Governors Island, Pratt Institute; among others.

Entitled “Island(ing) Adaptations,” this panel will bring together cross cut representation from high level government officials to innovative designers, financial leaders and policy makers. The title is intended to be a play on “AI” and denotes the intelligence of how land scarce/water scarce, island-based habitats, historic and contemporary practices across the globe could inform future urban and economic development.  The “(ing)” is intended to situate an active role in exploring the subjects surrounding net zero water and design within this broader conversation. Each participant will share their perspectives and (through moderated discussion and Q&A) engage one another and the audience in discussion.
