Due to Earth's changing climate, the risk that crops and other plants won't be able to grow due to extreme weather lingers on this urban farm. Located on the middle east part of governors island, the GrowNYC teaching garden replaced a few basketball courts that were on the island, unused. The teaching garden provides a significant habitat for flowers and plants on the island, and is an area where people can learn about agriculture and the natural ecosystems on governors island. As I stated earlier, the threat lingers over the teaching garden that due to climate change causing extreme weather events, the ecosystems on governors island will be severely damaged and therefore the teaching garden is a vulnerable site.


New York Harbor School Marine Affairs students will engage with partners to map Governors Island and its Climate Engagement. Students will create a Green Maps of Governors Islands' Relationship to SDGs - the Sustainable Development Goals, climate education, climate change vulnerabilities, innovation approaches to climate solutions, and bring waste to the visible eye. These maps will aid in students engaging in their community, displaying incorrectness and education to the public during climate week. Student-led and student-created. This will be something that will live and evolve each climate week as our city and world revolve around emerging climate issues. This student will swing back to update and evaluate our local and global progress.
