Tuesday, April 9th, 2024 - Getting to know NYC Community Based Organizations
CJHL was joined by local environmental organizations including the Climate Film Festival, The Bronx River Alliance, BioBus, NYU SBS Energy, Climate Justice, and Sustainability Lab, and the National Resource Defense Council to learn more about their mission and values, current projects, upcoming events, and any volunteer, internship or APE opportunities.
Tuesday, November 14, 2023 - CJHL & CFF Community Event - Film Screening of "Where It Floods: Planting Hope in Coney Island"
CJHL and the Climate Film Festival collaborated for a screening of the National Wildlife Federation's Resilient Schools Consortium (RiSC) program documentary, "Where It Floods: Planting Hope in Coney Island." The short film follows the journey of students from seven NYC middle and high schools as they learn about climate impacts and the natural and built solutions that increase climate resiliency in Coney Island, and is filmed and produced by Driven Studio in collaboration with the National Wildlife Federation, students and partners. The screening was followed by a panel discussion with students and community partners featured in the film.
October 24th, 2023 - Book Talk: The End of Eden with Adam Welz
CJHL was joined by Adam Welz, author of "The End of Eden: Wild Nature in the Age of Climate Breakdown”. The book explores the interconnected, multi-species impact of anthropogenic climate change. After reading a portion of the book, there was a discussion and Q&A.
"An exquisitely written and deeply researched exploration of wild species reacting to climate breakdown, The End of Eden offers a radical new kind of environmental journalism that connects humans to nature in a more empathetic way than ever before and galvanizes us to act in defense of the natural world before it's too late." --Bloomsbury Publishing
