Join us during Climate Week for the launch of The Climate Story Project!
The Climate Story Project is an initiative led by The New York Climate Exchange, supported by the Wellcome Trust, to record, archive and share real personal stories about climate change to inspire action and connection. This is a living archive that captures a snapshot of life in the midst of climate change—offering people space to reflect on the past, connect in the present, and imagine possible futures.
The project will launch during Climate Week with two public pop ups where you can listen to stories from our network and record your own climate story.
Climate Resilience in Action
The American Museum of Natural History on Thursday September 25 at 7pm.
As climate change reshapes our cities, communities, and health, New York stands at a crossroads—an international city with a responsibility to lead and an opportunity to act.
The evening will open with music by Madame Gandhi, an electronic music producer, artist, and activist recognized as a TED Fellow, Forbes 30 Under 30, and BBC 100 Women honoree. In her lecture demonstration, she will share her experience recording sounds from nature, integrating them into her music, and including nature in royalties.
A series of Lightning Lectures will highlight on-the-ground work by local organizations across the boroughs, from rooftop farming and urban forestry to public cooling infrastructure and community organizing.
A keynote presentation by Rohit T. Aggarwala, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection and the City’s Chief Climate Officer, will highlight how New York City is advancing its climate and sustainability goals, offering insight into how local governments are preparing for the growing challenges of climate change.
