Our Impact.

A Platform for Climate Resilient Healthy Homes

Formally Known as Baltimore Climate Tech+

Since 2024, Baltimore Climate Tech+ has convened more than 80 international thought leaders and delivered 75+ hours of recorded solutions and case studies across the commercial, single-family, and multi-family sectors.

Rebranded for 2026, our March 19th virtual hybrid experience brings together policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and community leaders to advance climate resilient healthy homes — addressing radon gas, asthma triggers, wildfires, and sea-level rise through actionable solutions and shared accountability.

Housing As Healthcare

The Case For Climate Resilient Healthy Homes

The Health Impacts Are Real — and Unequal. In Maryland, environmental health risks inside homes are not theoretical. They are measurable, well-documented, and disproportionately impact vulnerable communities.

Nearly 1 in 4 Maryland homes have elevated radon levels above the EPA action threshold of 4 pCi/L.
Baltimore City has the highest asthma-related fatality rate in the nation, with African American women four times more likely to die from asthma than white men.
An estimated 24,000 children in Baltimore City are living with asthma.
In Maryland, African American children are three times more likely to be hospitalized and six times more likely to die from asthma than white children.

Permafrost thawing due to climate change and increasing global temperature results in greater leakage of radon gas into the atmosphere and into residential buildings, leading to higher exposure.

These outcomes are not accidents....

This is why housing policy, building performance, and climate resilience must be treated as public health infrastructure.

America Is Turning 250

Some of the Places That Shaped American Freedom May Not Survive the Next Century

As sea levels rise along Maryland’s Eastern Shore, the landscapes that shaped American freedom, culture, cuisine, and resistance are being permanently altered.

These are not distant projections. This is happening now.

From communities shaped by Black Marylanders to sites associated with the early life of Harriet Tubman, climate change is erasing places where freedom was practiced long before it was protected by law. Once these places are gone, they cannot be recovered.

The Underground Underwater Bus Tour invites participants to witness these changes firsthand.

The Underground Underwater Bus Tour

Where Climate Change Meets American History

The in-person highlight of Maryland Climate Tech+ 2026. The Underground Underwater Bus Tour is a first-of-its-kind experience designed to make climate change tangible. Participants travel through the Eastern Shore to witness sea-level rise, ecosystem loss, and cultural vulnerability in the very places that shaped American history.

This is not a tour. It is a responsibility.

What Participants Will Witness — and What May Soon Be Lost

Harriet Tubman–associated landscapes now at risk of permanent submersion
Eastern Shore maritime ecosystems collapsing under accelerating sea-level rise
Descendant communities facing climate-driven displacement within a generation
Cultural identity, memory, resilience, and justice tied to land that may not endure
