Wed, Sep 18 2019
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Climate Wednesdays environment lectures and discussions


The climate crisis may be the biggest challenge New Yorkers have ever faced.  Our city and state are setting the pace with new laws aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, cars, and industry. But the fossil fuel industry keeps rolling out new pipelines. And some communities bear a much heavier burden than others. What’s been achieved, and where do we go from here?

Yessenia Funes, Environmental Justice Journalist, Earther
