Center for Climate Adaptation

Partners

CCA was established with two academic partners; Pratt Institute and Pace University giving us the necessary foundational interdisciplinary skills to pursue and implement the goals of our mission. Industrial partnerships with Inhabit Group/Egis and Arcadis further enrich this foundation with a balance of technical expertise and engineering across the built and natural environment. More recently we have enthusiastically (and sooner than anticipated) established (or are in the process of establishing) partnerships in South Asia/India and South America/Chile with Anant National University and Universidad del Desarrollo respectively.

    Aalto University

    Aalto was created with a mission to lead a way for a nation. To unite a diverse set of people through science, arts, technology and business. To create a better world by bringing quantum engineers, urban economists and fashion designers to collide and to elevate each other.

    Our way is to accelerate curiosity and responsibility towards solving the biggest challenges in the world. For this task we offer an academic environment that reimagines the way a university operates.

    We are inspirited through the radical creativity of our students and the entrepreneurial mindset of our community. We drive fundamental research and fuel sustainable growth. Make theories become solutions and prototypes become breakthroughs.

    Our differences are the gravity that pulls us together and the chemistry that sparks us to action. Together we build beyond the status quo and always find a way forward.
