“Clean energy is real. It’s not something in the future. It’s right here. It’s right here for our kids to see how we do it so that they can do it.”
— Marshall Gobuty, Founder of Pearl Homes and Developer of Hunters Point
When Marshall Gobuty speaks about climate adaptation, he speaks from the ground up—literally. At Hunters Point in Cortez, Florida, his team at Pearl Homes builds Net Zero homes. These houses generate more power than they consume and store that energy for when it’s needed most. In an era of rising climate risk, this is adaptation in action.
This matters to the Climate Adaptation Center (CAC). The CAC exists to amplify and accelerate solutions like this—projects that turn risk into resilience and opportunity. From educating the public to informing policymakers, the CAC helps communities understand what works and why.
Florida faces unique climate challenges: frequent flooding, extreme heat, and energy instability. Yet here is a model that confronts all three. Gobuty’s Net Zero homes aren’t just about sustainability—they’re about resilience. Stored solar energy powers homes during outages. Adaptive design helps homeowners weather a volatile climate. Each home built is a signal: the future is possible, today.
But innovation needs visibility to scale. That’s where the CAC plays a pivotal role. By highlighting groundbreaking projects like Hunters Point, the CAC inspires builders, investors, and government leaders to replicate success across the nation. Through storytelling and advocacy, the CAC helps move climate adaptation from niche to norm.
Gobuty knows this firsthand. There is no roadmap for Net Zero communities. It took 18 months of modeling to perfect these homes. Now, builders from across the country—from California to New York—are visiting to learn how to adapt this approach in their own regions.
“Resiliency is as important as sustainability,” Gobuty says. The CAC couldn’t agree more. Adaptation means learning, evolving, and responding to new climate realities. Supporting the CAC helps ensure that more projects like Hunters Point get built—and get noticed.
By donating to the CAC, you fuel the visibility, education, and momentum that drive real-world adaptation. You help communities confront climate risk head-on, with proven solutions.
