See you at Climate Week NYC? September 23, 2024
by Paige Knappenberger, Director of Environment and Health
This week, PSR Executive Director Brian Campbell and I will be heading to New York city to attend Climate Week NYC. This year marks the very first time that Climate Week has formally recognized health as a thematic programming vertical. This will be my fourth time attending Climate Week, but my first time attending as a representative of PSR. For those attending Climate Week, I’ve compiled a shared calendar of health-related events taking place (some of them allow virtual participation, so might be worth looking at even if you won’t be in NYC).
Climate Week NYC is an annual charity event organized by the UK-based nonprofit, Climate Group starting in 2009.
Brian and I both have busy schedules planned, but some of the events I most look forward to include (*indicates virtual attendance is possible):
- Monday, September 23rd: Connecting Climate Change and Health: Closing the Action Gap *
- Tuesday, September 24th: Climate Action for Health: Solutions from the Health Sector *
- Wednesday, September 25th: Children and Youth Mental Health: Climate Impacts & Actions *
- Thursday, September 26th: Reducing Extreme Heat Mortality: Introducing Project HEATWAVE
- Friday, September 27th:
