Attention All Climate Solutions and Infrastructure Businesses! In response to the pressing climate crisis, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation (BNYDC) issued a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) for the development and operation of a 2.75-acre parcel on the Brooklyn waterfront for clean energy infrastructure or the production of technology addressing climate change. The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation has a 130,000 sq ft parcel that is a prime location for clean energy infrastructure or the manufacture of products to address climate change. BNYDC is seeking to learn more about potential projects for the Site with these uses. Climate change is one of society’s most pressing global issues and one that requires the development, production and deployment of a significant amount of “devices” of varying sizes and scales (i.e. heat pumps, solar panels, electric vehicle chargers, transmission stations, battery energy storage systems, to name a few). BNYDC has a rare opportunity to redevelop the Site to provide critically needed clean energy infrastructure and/or establish industrial space that will develop products addressing climate change and create jobs in New York City’s emerging “green economy.” Tour dates listed on the RFEI.

Here's a possibility inspired by the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation’s Request for Expressions of Interest, we envision a dynamic shared facility like The Green Launchpad to foster innovation in sustainable technologies. The Green Launchpad is a collaborative hub within the Brooklyn Navy Yard designed to nurture startups specializing in sustainable technologies. Sponsored by leading industry corporations and supported by public funding, this facility offers a range of shared resources from manufacturing spaces to R&D labs. Startups begin in the Green Launchpad with access to shared resources, reducing initial costs and fostering collaboration. As companies mature, they move on, making room for new ventures. This cycle nurtures a continuous flow of innovation and job creation in the Yard, supporting the local economy and advancing environmental sustainability. This model promotes not only economic growth and innovation in green technologies but also serves as an educational platform for the next generation, tying closely with the Yard’s mission of sustainable community development. This hub could accommodate around 10-15 startups, potentially creating 100-300 jobs, which would invigorate the local economy and boost job creation in green industries. **Financing the Vision: ** The development of such a hub could be supported through a mix of industry sponsorships, government grants, and public-private partnerships, enabling a robust platform for startups to innovate with reduced financial barriers. This concept, inspired by the Brooklyn RFEI, illustrates the immense potential for similar initiatives globally, offering a blueprint for how industries could collaborate to nurture eco-friendly innovations and sustainable community development. Community Engagement: Startups at the Green Launchpad would collaborate with the Brooklyn STEAM Center and other local educational programs to offer internships, training, and workshops, thereby fostering a pipeline of talent and reinforcing community ties. This integration ensures ongoing benefits for the local economy and enhances the social fabric of the area through innovative, environmentally focused projects. This is merely one idea of how spaces like these could be transformed to meet the needs of tomorrow's green economy. It's definitely a great opportunity for industries and local government to make a difference in climate and infrastructure!

6 Billion Dollar investment in new climate investment is great news and investments in the areas like electricity grid modernization will have long term implications and will for sure be a great saviour in future. Let it be followed by all other countries and any initiative in the energy sector would have much greater implications.

Severe weather events across the globe are a stark reminder of the scale of the climate crisis we are facing. It’s vital that we ensure our infrastructure is resilient to the impact of a changing climate. I’ve written a piece for Infrastructure Global, on the scale of the resilience challenge we’re facing, and the role that the Physical Climate Risk Assessment Methodology (PCRAM) is playing to improve consistency in risk and resilience assessment and protecting infrastructure and communities. Mott Macdonald developed PCRAM through the Coalition for Climate Resilient Investment and it's further development is now led by the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC). https://lnkd.in/ehM4msXr
Delivering #InfrastructureResilience is crucial for asset owners, investors and communities. However, the current level of investment is significantly lower than what's required. So, how can we bridge the gap between the severity of the climate emergency and the actions being taken? Madeleine Rawlins, our global practice leader for #ClimateChange, explores the need to work together and advocate for a globally standardised approach with IG - Infrastructure Global. Discover insights on recognising global #ClimateResilience gaps and ensuring funding is targeted to places that need it most. 👇 https://mottm.ac/3XefG7g
