ONLINE: Building Climate Resilience in Communities; Thinking Globally, Assessing Regionally & Acting Locally

Lets build on our understanding and act together as a student body to influence critical institutional changes at The New School. Here’s how we do it:

Thinking local to global perspectives we welcome guest speakers from WEACT, AmeriCorps and Peace Corps, to share and discuss their experience in building climate resilience in their communities.

Assessing where we are now as The New School community; we welcome the student senate, and active student group representatives as we take a quick dive into their efforts and obstacles in building climate resilience within The New School community.

Acting locally, we hand the mic to the students in attendance to create a list of educated recommendations: How should The New School prepare for this climate crisis?All recommendations will be presented by the student senate in a Memorandum of Understanding and from there to be presented to The New School. The zoom link will be sent out closer to the date of the event.
