​Join The New York Climate Exchange and Latinxs in Sustainability—alongside professionals across urban ecology and planning—for a dynamic breakfast and discussion exploring sustainability through the lens of the Latinx community. This intersectional conversation will explore how identity and lived experience shape our relationship with the environment.

​With a focus on urban forestry and environmental justice, the panel will examine disparities in green space access, community health outcomes, and environmental policy. Together, we'll reimagine sustainability as inclusive, culturally rooted, and led by the voices of those most impacted. Comunidad y cultura will come to life through an interactive papel picado activity.

​Set against the backdrop of Governors Island, this gathering offers a moment of reflection and reconnection at the close of Climate Week NYC, and serves as an early celebration of Latinx Heritage Month. The event will spotlight Latinx sustainability leaders driving change across New York City and offer meaningful networking opportunities to build community and spark collaboration.
