Creative Climate Forum –
Climate Week NYC Edition

Fast Responses, Slow Revolutions
Art, Community, and Tools of Creative Resistance

WHAT IS THE CREATIVE CLIMATE FORUM?

Join us on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at Pier 57 in New York City for Fast Responses, Slow Revolutions: Art, Community, and Tools of Creative Resistance—a day-long gathering of creative expression, dialogue, and collective action at the intersection of climate justice and culture.

Organized by the Human Impacts Institute as a part of our Creative Climate Communications Lab, this Forum explores both urgent responses to crisis and long-term strategies for systemic transformation.

Through performances, panels, workshops, and immersive installations, we activate the power of collective imagination to shape the future—together.

Registration is FREE and open to all. Priority will be given to those active in climate work from most impacted communities.

Our NYC Pilot

With support from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the C3 Lab is launching a pilot program in New York City. In partnership with research institutions, municipalities, arts-climate organizations, NGOs, and community groups, this program will pave the way for impactful change both locally and globally.

Our vision is to connect researchers, practitioners, and communication experts to develop, implement, and monitor effective climate action strategies. By combining local experimentation with insights from global climate leaders, the C3 Lab strives to become a pioneering center for research-driven climate communication and action innovation.
