Can't wait for this event! It combines my love for @GreenCardVoices the incredible work they do elevating immigrant and refugee voices, AND, Zaynab, who I've know for years marveled at her persistence, resilience and brilliance (a fellow @ColumbiaSIPA grad, too!) Join us!

“The environments that thrive when the climate changes have complex and adaptive networks. A complex, adaptive coalition has no left and no right. It must be made from the center out. Everyone working together is the only way it’s going to work.” - @tomfriedman #AdaptiveLearning

“Schools have always been designed to make kids a certain way, rather than meet kids where they are, recognize the sanctity of the individual, and help them grow and develop into a full, unique human being.” - William Gaudelli

It's been an action-packed day at the Climate Summit. Students dove into topics relating to the #climatecrisis - migration, gender, oceans, energy - and designed solutions based on the perspectives of proximate stakeholders. Thank you to @UlsterBOCES and @Vassar college!

Looking forward to moderating a panel of @Vassar college professors today with @UlsterBOCES! We cannot solve the #climatecrisis without the leadership of young people. Giving them an opportunity to express their ideas and lead change will be key to making real progress.
