Empowering Solutions at UN Climate Science Fair

At a climate science fair in Manhattan, funded by the Emerson Collective, various nonprofit and advocacy organizations showcased their work on climate change in contrast to the exclusive and closed-off nature of the UN General Assembly. The fair highlighted immediate solutions and facilitated dialogues among influential stakeholders.

In the midst of high-profile diplomatic gatherings at the United Nations, a parallel event captured attention in Manhattan's elevated park: a climate science fair. Funded by the Emerson Collective, the fair showcased innovative work on nature, food, and the energy transition.

Gabe Kleinman of Emerson Collective emphasized the fair's public nature, contrasting it with the closed-door meetings of the UN General Assembly. The event provided a platform for immediate impactful solutions to climate challenges, while the UN tried to demonstrate its capability to address global crises.

With philanthropies like Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation calling for increased investment in critical areas and civil organizations advocating for stronger commitments to gender equality, the fair exemplified the push for practical and inclusive attempts to solve pressing issues.
