Global Green

In October 2018, Global Green opened the first of its kind "Community Development and Climate Action Center" in the Lower 9th Ward as a part of phase 2 of the Holy Cross Project. The Community Development and Climate Action Center, commonly known as the Climate Action Center, is an incubator for green and resilience infrastructure education. 

The Center, built to LEED Platinum certification standard, provides opportunities for residents of the Greater New Orleans region to learn and experience climate actions in various scales through demonstrations, workshops, and training. The Climate Action Center also committed to Do-It-Yourself green infrastructure implementations at individual level. The facility will serve as a living example of best practices in green infrastructure development, storm-water management, renewable and energy efficiency.
