The climate crisis is a health emergency. 🌡️ 2. Centering community in climate initiatives. 🌱 3. Prioritizing equity and underrepresented climate founders. 📈 4. Every job is a climate job. 🤝 5. On data mapping and inclusive urban planning. 📊 6. Climate is the whole economy. 📈 7. The role of academia and education in green workforce development. 📚 8.New York as a contributor to global best practices in offshore wind. 🌊 9. Cracking the code on the FOAK frenzy. 🚀 10.

Everyday, not just during Climate Week, we are reminded to be action oriented. Entrepreneurship is about trying new things and building solutions. We won't address the climate crisis if we just read about the problem and fall into despair.” - Frederic Clerc, Urban Future Lab NYU Tandon School of Engineering Interim Managing Director and C2V Initiative Director #climateweek #ClimateWeekNYC #NYCW #climate #thoughtleadership #newsletters #trends #insights #takeaways #UFLInnovatesForClimate
