The realities they face—wildfire smoke canceling outdoor activities, extreme heat closing schools, floods displacing families—are no longer distant threats, but part of daily life. These challenges offer a critical opportunity for institutions like schools, libraries, and museums to educate, support, and empower young people as they navigate and respond to a rapidly changing world.
In this urgent and hopeful conversation, Dr. Chelsea Clinton moderates a discussion with Chancellor of the State University of New York and Museum Trustee John King, Jr., Laura Schifter, founder and director of This Is Planet Ed, and Museum President Sean Decatur about the crucial role that educational and civic institutions must play in this moment. Together, they’ll explore how we can collaborate to support families and equip young people with the knowledge, resilience, and tools they need to shape a better future.
