From Hurricane Sandy to the Coronavirus pandemic, New York has a history of resiliency in the face of crises, coming together to face challenges head-on.

New York is already feeling the impacts of climate change, which, if left unchecked, will subject the city to untold risk and suffering, pushing already struggling services to the brink, and undermining the city government’s efforts to protect our communities.

Join The 92nd Street Y, New York CEO Seth Pinsky and Rohit “Rit” Aggarwala, Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection to discuss the climate crisis and what New York is doing to address resiliency and long-term preparedness of our water and wastewater infrastructure, reduce pollution and protect New Yorkers from the intensifying impacts of climate change.

Journalists Nicole Gelinas, Errol Louis, and Brigid Bergin will then bring their insightful perspectives to the table as they engage in a dynamic unpacking of the issues discussed. Together, they will shed light on the city’s pressing environmental challenges and explore innovative solutions, continuing a thought-provoking dialogue on what a sustainable future would look like.
