Time for Better’s Post

This year, there are over 600 events being hosted across five boroughs of New York City during #ClimateWeekNYC. So, as an event host, how can you make the most of your event and ensure it stands out? ⭕ Start by asking yourself; What are you trying to accomplish from your event? What key climate takeaways would you like your audience to leave the room with? Craft an agenda that is niche and focused on one topic as opposed to keeping it more general. ⭕ Diversify your event by inviting speakers, panelists and participants from different cultural backgrounds, sectors or industries. ⭕ Incorporate an interactive element to your event, such as a Q&A, a live demonstration, or workshop session. This will give your attendees a more memorable and impactful Climate Week NYC experience! Submit your event to be included in our official program calendar and make the most of the audience and network at Climate Week NYC! Deadline to submit is September 8.

Heading to my first Climate Week NYC next month and could use some advice! As a consultant, I'm looking to make the most of this important event and potentially pitch my services to support any events happening that week. My goal is to attend events that will help me build connections with value-aligned leaders and explore ways to center frontline communities in these conversations. I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with Climate Week NYC—what were the must-attend events or sessions? Are there any tips for networking and making the most of the week? If you're involved in organizing any events during that time, I'd be very interested in discussing how I could help, potentially by interviewing speakers, moderating panels, or creating content for your social media. I'd love to find opportunities to bridge my passion for working on climate issues and my love of books. I create bookish content on TikTok (@triflesandvanities), and if any publishers are working on cli-fi events, I'd love to connect! Any insights would be greatly appreciated as I prepare for this exciting week in New York! Looking forward to learning from the Climate Week NYC community. #climateweeknyc #environmentaljustice #climatechange #climatefiction #storytelling

I guess young people do care about the planet.🌍 Opened up my emails today and saw my face in the Climate Action July newsletter connected to Sascha Robinson's wonderful 'This Month's Spotlight.' Sascha's article really resonated with me: "Occasionally, I'd see local #climate meetups advertised but the thought of walking into a room full of people twice my age wondering, 'Who is she?' and 'What does she know?', kept me from attending." Today, it's clear that young people aren't just the future—they're actively shaping it. From #grassroots movements to running for political offices, we're standing up and demanding change. I may have started at 16 but the fear of being the youngest in the room still hits when I enter a new space. What helps me over come this #fear? Taking a moment to Remember why I'm entering the space in the first place. Climate action isn't just about reducing emissions; it's about empowering our communities and ensuring a #sustainable future for all of us. #ClimateAction #YouthInAction #EnvironmentalLeadership

🏙️Why should cities base their climate ambitions in evidence? We spoke to urban experts and public servants about their cities' climate resilience journeys.🌳Gdynia and Athens are leading the way, making climate data accessible to drive policy change and visualize risks and benefits. As two of #REACHOUT's 7 city hubs, they are using interactive climate tools to build a resilient future. ⏯️ Watch to find out how cities are benefiting. #ClimateResilienceJourneys Lina Liakou Elissavet Bargianni Barbara Tołłoczko-Suchańska

Today there is a Community Climate Talks Event: "Let's Talk About How We Move". Venue: Waterloo Public Library Time: 7 p.m today. This session is a continuation of last Fall's exciting hybrid workshop series hosted by ClimateActionWR and led by the dedicated volunteer events team.

During this community workshop, they will be talking about How We Move in our community and will dive into topics such as: -The current and future landscape of transportation services in Waterloo Region, -Why our transportation choices matter to our climate targets, -Behaviour and mindset shifts in order for us to get to our targets, -Addressing the barriers and gaps and more! I will be attending, see you there!!! #sdg #sustainability #climateaction

Our work doesn't end when the project is over; it's the beginning of a long-term conversation. At Milk, our 2018 collaboration with Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) was more than a project; it was a catalyst for lasting change. By inspiring our network of creators to address climate change through user-generated content, we ignited conversations that continue to reverberate today. From highlighting the heroes of the Paradise, California wildfires to challenging environmental policy rollbacks, our goal was clear: to drive awareness, spark conversation, and inspire action on climate change. #Earthmonth #agency #climatechange
