Harvard Heads to Climate Week NYC
More than a dozen Harvard University climate faculty and experts will attend New York Climate Week, a week of climate and sustainability focused events taking place September 22nd – 29th across New York City. Harvard faculty headed to NYC represent six Harvard schools and a wide range of disciplines.
The Salata Institute’s Climate Action Accelerator will convene many of these experts and a wide array of climate leaders for a full day of events on September 24th . Panels will cover questions of solar geoengineering, methane emissions reductions, and extreme heat. A networking reception following the panels will drive valuable climate and sustainability connections across disciplines and industry. Learn more about the Salata Institute event here.
