Event Description

Building upon the past 12 Columbia Climate Conversations focused on climate and social justice, this in-person event invites individuals to learn more about representation and inclusivity. A keynote address will be followed by a panel featuring environmental justice organizers, grassroots activists, and NYC nonprofits to dive deeper into housing injustice, bottom-up climate action, and systemic inequity. The summit will conclude with a creative workshop and mixer.
