Description
The New York Community Trust’s National and International Environment Program supports work to mitigate climate change, strengthen community resilience, protect public health from toxic chemicals and pollutants, and preserve biological diversity. The national program, supported by the Henry Phillip Kraft Memorial Fund, funds projects in the United States and its territories. Priorities include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, removing legacy carbon from the atmosphere and oceans, adapting to a warming world, and protecting terrestrial and marine conservation corridors.
Supported approaches include clean energy, low-emission transportation, resilient grids, stormwater infrastructure, natural shoreline barriers, sustainable land-use policies, and emergency planning for vulnerable residents. Targeted scientific research that informs pollution policy is also supported. Cross-cutting interests include smart growth, sustainable agriculture, regional food systems, and sustainable production. International grants support U.S. organizations building institutional capacity to protect biodiversity, improve environmental health, and reduce greenhouse gases worldwide.
