Harvard Climate Symposium
Breakout Session
Featuring Daniel Bicknell, Maryland Department of Service and Civic Innovation; Seán Arthurs, EarthRights International; Elizabeth Gray, Audubon; Evan Kornbluh, RMI; Ujjwal Kumar, Quantum Alliance AI; Tom Polton, NV Sustainability LLC; and Angela Zhong, TPG - Y Analytics
The climate crisis touches every facet of society—and solving it demands the talents, tools, and insights of every field. Whether you're in finance, law, design, public health, engineering, education, the arts, or beyond, you have a role to play in shaping a livable future. Climate action isn’t limited to scientists and policy experts; it’s a calling—and an opportunity—for all.
Join us for a dynamic session featuring TED-style talks from inspiring Harvard alumni who are integrating climate into their diverse careers. From entrepreneurs to educators, corporate strategists to community leaders, they’ll share stories of finding purpose, creating impact, and driving change from where they stand.
Afterward, engage directly in small, themed breakout tables where you can explore the intersection of climate and your own interests—ask questions, connect with peers, and leave with new ideas for your next steps.
