Climate and Environmental Justice: A Discussion of NYC's Plans

August 6, 2025
5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
America/New_York
Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Harlem State Office Building, 163 W. 125 St., New York, NY 10027 2nd Floor Art Gallery

The growing risks of rising heat, more intense storms, and a history of environmental injustice continue to generate disproportionate climate impacts in communities like Harlem. 

You are invited to join on, as part of Harlem Week 2025, to discuss:

  • What is government doing to address these risks and get at the root causes of our climate crisis? 

  • How can community organizations and residents partner with local businesses, academic organizations, and government to cause real change in policy?

  • What is the role of the Columbia Climate School in supporting and empowering its neighbors to address our climate crisis and achieve environmental justice?

Hear from local researchers, elected officials, and community leaders on the challenge and have your voice heard as the Columbia Climate School continues to expand its work to create a cleaner, safer, healthier future for Harlem and the globe.
