As climate change reshapes our cities, communities, and health, New York stands at a crossroads—an international city with a responsibility to lead and an opportunity to act.

As part of Climate Week NYC, the AMNH Climate Assembly will invite participants to roll up their sleeves and engage in a live, city-wide conversation about climate resilience. During an energizing 90-minute session, you’ll gather in small groups, share your perspectives, and hear from neighbors and strangers alike as you imagine how New Yorkers can adapt and thrive in a changing climate.

Developed in collaboration with the Global Citizens’ Assembly, alongside The Assembly Project, The Hannah Arendt Center’s Democracy Innovation Hub, and the Museum’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, the session offers a rare chance to feel the power of collective problem-solving and leave inspired by the creativity and commitment of your community.

At the end of the AMNH Climate Assembly, participants will receive complimentary entry to Climate Resilience in Action.
