Upcoming Events
Following the launch of two research papers highlighting the impacts of our work, we are delighted to invite you to a breakfast panel discussion under the title: From Climate Learning to Climate Outcomes: Systemic Impacts Through Transformative Educational Programming.
This event will explore the following studies:
- Systemic Impacts of School-Based Sustainability Education: Evidence from New York Sun Works published by the Journal of Environmental Education and authored by Alex Kudryavtsev PhD, Research Associate at Cornell University
- Linking Climate Learning to Climate Outcomes through Curriculum Redesign and Evaluation: A Case Study of NY Sun Works. Christina Kwauk, Research Director of Unbounded Associates, will be discussing the preliminary results from her study testing a new climate change education learning outcomes. Her forthcoming white paper examines the connection between NYSW’s model and curriculum and individual student engagement, life skills, and behavioral change – and further linking these outcomes to reductions in carbon emissions.
Panelists include both research authors with Adam Freed, Principal at Bloomberg Associates as moderator.
The panel will highlight how education programs can intentionally connect learning goals to behavioral pathways and long-term climate impacts through thoughtful curriculum redesign and aligned evaluation systems. Participants will leave with concrete strategies for redesigning curriculum and assessment to better demonstrate—and achieve—real-world climate impact. For policymakers, this session will offer actionable insights into how education investments, standards, and accountability frameworks can be structured to support measurable climate outcomes at scale.
The breakfast panel will take place at 8:30-10:30 am on April 15th at Venable LLP in midtown Manhattan.
