The Climate Strides Event Series | Central Park
Hosted by Where The Climate Things Are
-‿-Come run or walk with us and geek out on climate solutions! Free and open to all!
The run/walk will take place March 8th at 9am. We are meeting on the Bridle Path (pin is above) - 86th and Central Park West is the easiest entry point.
The event is designed to "break the panel" - we will get outside together, hear speakers from across the climate space and beyond, and create a community of like-minded individuals in NYC. Most of all, we will expand our thinking around climate solutions, and do it in a way that feels accessible to everyone.
The "pace" is extremely chill* - we leave no one behind, no matter the speed, while fostering dialogue around climate solutions. There will be a running group option and a walking group option.
Periodically, we will stop and hear from someone in the climate space for a few minutes - their work, their "aha" moment and their hopes for the future (both runners and walkers will get to hear each speaker). In between speakers, we'll continue the run/walk where you will meet new people and discuss what you just heard.
Speakers include an environmental justice lawyer, a community activist and run group organizer, a UN staff member specializing in NDCs for the Paris Agreement, a serial impact entrepreneur and an nonprofit founder/professor of climate campaigning who is also a musician you might recognize...
*We encourage folks with a specific workout in mind to run either before or after the event, seeing this as a community warm-up/cool-down! And please note, there will be no bag drop option, so plan to wear/carry what you need to be comfortable depending on the weather.
MORE ABOUT WTCTA
Where The Climate Things Are is a media series working to build an inclusive climate movement in the outdoor community. There is so much incredible work and experience in all corners of our world of outdoor enthusiasts, and if I’ve learned one thing in my time studying and working on environmental issues, it’s that sharing positive, solutions-oriented stories and personal experiences is often the biggest unlock to encouraging broader environmental action. We don’t do doomsday, guilt or shame here -- we uplift solutions-oriented work, talk about existing issues and challenges, and discuss where we need to go, together.
