Unite.

To confront the wicked problem of climate change, we must work together.

Join Boston Civic Media to envision the future of collaboration around climate change in Boston. We'll gather for the afternoon to build community across sectors and plot a shared agenda for taking climate action in the city. The event will feature a keynote presentation, an interactive workshop and a session of lightning talks for participants to present their completed or ongoing projects, or seek out collaborations and partnerships.

This event is made possible with support by the Teagle Foundation and Microsoft New England.
