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 Rose Auditorium at 41 Cooper Square, 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.
