KEYNOTE Creative Climate Forum - Collective Power in Times of Crises

Join the Human Impacts Institute for this closing session of the Creative Climate Forum, part of New York Climate Week 2025—a powerful collective reflection on the day’s learnings and a bold call to action.

This session begins with a community share-out of key takeaways from the workshops, followed by a keynote exploring how we harness collective power in the face of climate disruption, social upheaval, and systemic inequities. Through personal stories, strategic insight, and creative inspiration, we’ll reflect on what it takes to move forward together with courage, clarity, and care.

We'll close with final remarks from HII’s Founder, Tara DePorte, and a performance by climate artivist Karla Florez (Green Inch Worm Dance).
