Climate change isn’t coming; it’s here! Join the NYC Economic Development Corporation and the Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice to learn what the City is doing to protect Lower Manhattan from climate change while enhancing the waterfront to include new accessible public space, resilient ferry terminals, and improvements to stormwater management. EDC and MOCEJ will co-host the Financial District & Seaport Climate Resilience Plan site walk, which will meet at The Battery SeaGlass Carousel (20 State Street). The route will be under a mile and outdoors; while the route is wheelchair accessible, some parts of the site walk may be challenging to navigate for those with mobility issues. Please contact the event organizers with any questions about the route.
