Last month’s climate change agreement, COP21, was an historic event. Nearly 200 countries came together and agreed to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions over time. Looking at ways to harness this positive momentum at the local level, the non-proft group, NYC Metro Climate Reality Leaders, is hosting a panel discussion this Tuesday, January 12th, at Civic Hall called, “The Paris Agreement: COP 21 – Our Take.”
As a member of the panel, I will be speaking about the benefits of cross-disciplinary collaborations in the arts and sciences. Offering observations and opinions from their own unique perspectives, my fellow panelists include:
- Lilly Belanger, Program Director, No Impact Project
- Lew Blaustein, President, Green Sports Blog
- Olena Horcajo, Program Manager, Climate Reality Leadership Corps
- Paul Reale, Sustainability Consultant
- Narayan S. Subramanian, Climate Policy Officer, Independent Diplomat
Harriet Shugarman, Founder and Executive Director of Climate Mama will moderate the panel. Mrs. Shugarman and Simone Rothman, Founder and CEO of Future Air, are co-producers of the event.
The discussion begins at 5PM and will be followed a Q&A session. This event is free, but does require registration. Seats are limited. Hope you can join us.
