It’s been two weeks since I came back from Climate Week NYC, and I’ve spent some time reflecting on what was truly an inspiring week of learning, connection, and collaboration.
It seems everywhere we turn, there are signs of climate change. Just this summer we saw record-setting heat waves, increased wildfires and hurricanes, and ocean water temperatures off the coast of Miami top 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I wondered if this week would bring the actions that we so desperately need, and from my assessment, it was certainly a step in the right direction.
From attending some incredible events to having conversations with leaders from around the world to learning about new climate solutions from entrepreneurs, I left New York feeling energized about the future of this work.
The week was full of learnings that I’m taking with me, but below are three that I’m especially excited about.
