Climate Week 2025

We made maps on Governors Island that showcased the problems and solutions that the island has related to climate change. Our maps show things like construction that takes up big parts of the island, and places you can go to learn more about ideas that could help us be more sustainable. For our Career Technical Education (CTE), we do Marine Affairs and Policy, where we focus on sustainability in coastal regions, using agriculture as a tool to combat climate-related urban emerging issues. These maps were made by the students in the CTE for Climate Week 2025.

How does the collective retreats impact governors island as a whole? I think that in the long term continuous construction on that area could increase emissions on the island. Already right now they announced updates for the area, adding more construction to the surrounding area. Probably making this section of the island louder and more polluted than it needs to be.

Picnic Point provides seating areas, nice views, and rentable grills for visitor use. Its away from Island construction and loud noises making it a nice point to stop, eat, rest, and take in the views.
