Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org, the first planet-wide, grassroots climate change organization, and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, a marine biologist, policy expert, and strategist discussed the current climate movement. The conversation addressed changes that have taken place since the movement began, what the future may look like, and the most promising solutions for our current climate crisis.
Cooper Union X Climate Week 2019 is a student-led series of events that provides space for The Cooper Union and its broader community to explore and engage in themes, across a variety of disciplines, which examine the many facets of the climate crisis.
This event took place in The Great Hall, in the Foundation Building, 7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues.
The Cooper Climate Coalition, an open body of students, faculty, and staff at The Cooper Union, facilitates conversations, events, and student projects within the institution that center the Climate Crisis and its intersections with races, classes, genders, sexualities, histories, economies, political structures and more.
Along with organizing Cooper Union’s Climate Week programs and events in the fall, the Climate Coalition takes responsibility for fostering interdisciplinarity throughout The Cooper Union in support of environmental action.
