On September 20 alumni from Obama Foundation leadership programs working on climate issues around the world will come together in a hybrid (in-person and virtual) event during 2023 NYC Climate Week to share their perspectives and experiences on leadership, advocacy, and organizing. Organized by the Obama Leadership Network’s Climate Community of Practice, this event will feature remarks from Obama Foundation leadership, followed by a showcase of diverse climate leaders’ work, then an interactive fishbowl discussion with diverse participants from the public, academia, civil society, the private sector, and philanthropy. Together, participants will learn from each other about how to connect individual and collective efforts to minimize the harms of climate change, including on the most marginalized groups, and work together towards a brighter, more climate-resilient future. Lunch will be provided.
Before and after this event, a physical Obama Climate Leaders Showcase Exhibition will remain free and open to all members of the general public to visit throughout Climate Week (September 18-22) at historic building #403 on the unique and climate solutions-focused Governor’s Island anytime between 7am-6pm.
In-person event time: 1 - 4 pm ET
Virtual event time: 1:30 - 3 pm ET
