Description
The New York Community Trust’s national and international environment program supports work to mitigate climate change, help communities adapt, protect public health from toxic pollutants, and preserve biological diversity. National priorities include cleaner energy and transportation, resilient electric grids, emissions reductions, stormwater and shoreline protections, and preparation for weather-related emergencies, particularly for vulnerable residents.
The program also supports targeted scientific research that can inform policy, safer chemical practices, protections for communities near polluting facilities, and habitat conservation that reconnects fragmented landscapes. It encourages work across these areas, including smart growth, sustainable agriculture, regional food systems, and sustainable production. International grants help U.S. organizations build institutional capacity to protect biodiversity, improve environmental health, and reduce greenhouse gases.
