On October 28th, MAS is thrilled to be involved in Columbia Climate School’s Sandy +10: Resilience, Equity, Climate Justice conference. As a part of the day-long conference, MAS will host a panel conversation at 10 AM in Room 315, answering the following question:

How has climate advocacy in the public realm evolved post-Sandy and how can policy makers, advocates, and developers best prioritize the public realm and its many users moving forward?

Génesis Abreu Youth Environmental Leadership Manager at Futures Ignite
