At a time when environmental policy, regulations, research, and budgets face unprecedented and systemic attacks, new climate coalitions are emerging,  from local neighborhoods to the global stage. These coalitions, powered by the vision and voices of frontline communities, are uniting with policymakers, philanthropy, journalists, and academia to chart a path toward a thriving economy and healthy futures for all.

This Climate Week 2025 keynote will bring together multisector leaders who are building and sustaining these transformative alliances. Moderated by Dr. Ana Isabel Baptista, Director of the Tishman Environment & Design Center, this conversation features U.S. Representative Kathy Castor (FL-14), leading the Thriving Economy Project with SEEC Institute and former Chair of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.

 More multi-sectoral speakers will be announced soon. 

This event is presented by Tishman Environment and Design Center in collaboration with the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR)  founded in 1976 and producer of Mother Jones and the public radio show and podcast Reveal, and the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition Institute (SEEC Institute), a nonprofit established in 2023, to increase understanding, build support, and drive action on critical climate and environmental issues.

This event is part of the Tishman Center’s year-long celebration honoring two decades of the evolution and impact of the Center’s work, alongside communities. 

Special thanks to the Rachel Carson Council and the Solar Energy Industry Association for their fiscal support of this event. 

This event is free and open to the public. We welcome donations to help make it possible. Your support helps the Tishman Center bring in community leaders to participate in Climate Week NYC and experience this event in person.
