On March 2nd 2020, the Milano Whole Earth Taskforce, made up of students, faculty, and staff, brought together The New School community for a Climate Emergency Teach-In. Leonardo Figueroa Helland and Mindy Fullilove, the faculty members behind the event, are recipients of a 2019-2020 Tishman Center Faculty Grant and the teach-in was created as part of their “Whole Earth” Curriculum project. Génesis Abreu, a current Environmental Policy and Sustainability Management student, was invited to join the Whole Earth Taskforce as a research assistant and has been key in bringing the project to life.

[Re-Post] Climate Emergency Teach-In

The Earth is facing a climate emergency. Globally, seas are rising, coastlines are eroding, weather patterns are changing, floods, droughts, and forest fires are increasing, and species extinction is rising exponentially. The climate crisis and the threat it poses to life on Earth and frontline communities are among the foremost challenges of our times. As an institution of higher education, it is essential that The New School equip students and faculty with the knowledge, skills, and capability to respond to the challenges ahead.
