Sustainable Solutions Challenge: Finalist Showcase

​Join The New York Climate Exchange during Climate Week 2025 for a showcase of the winning innovations from the organization's Sustainable Solutions Challenge—a global call for bold, scalable ideas in climate-resilient design, infrastructure systems, and building technologies. Each selected solution has the potential to shape our groundbreaking climate campus on Governors Island and transform cities worldwide. 

​The program, presented with support from AWS and Intel, VELUX, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, will feature: 

• ​Finalist Presentations – Rapid-fire pitches from winning teams, sharing their solutions. 

• ​Industry Panel – Leaders in development, design, engineering, policy, and investment discuss what’s needed to accelerate adoption of sustainable building products and approaches. 

• ​Networking & Tours – Connect with innovators, interact with product samples and demonstrations from Challenge Finalists and join guided tours of the future Exchange site.

​Whether you’re an innovator, developer, architect, policymaker, investor, or climate advocate, this is your chance to engage with the people and ideas reshaping the built environment.
