Climate Connections: Exploring cross-sector opportunities
A decade ago, we hosted our first Lab Session and began a tradition of convening bold and curious leaders for conversations about thorny issues that matter. Our next Lab Session carries on this tradition and adds to the important discussions taking place during Climate Week NYC. Join us to explore the impacts — and opportunities — of a changing climate across sectors and industries.
A changing climate impacts every aspect of our economy and society, and solutions to the climate crisis will require unprecedented collaboration, innovative thinking, and bold intervention. From straining healthcare systems and supply chains to reshaping urban landscapes and the future of work, the climate crisis demands attention from leaders in all sectors.
As part of Climate Week NYC (September 22-29), Luminary Labs’ next Lab Session will convene leaders working at the nexus of climate, infrastructure, health, workforce, and technology to discuss the far-reaching impacts of our changing climate. The session will offer insights on emerging funding sources, innovative partnership opportunities, and thoughtful strategies for integrating climate considerations into diverse industries. Hear from expert speakers, including:
- Paul Cherukuri, Ph.D., Chief Innovation Officer and Vice President for Innovation at Rice University
- Sarah Kaufman, Director of the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation
- Amen Ra Mashariki, Ph.D., Director of AI and Data Strategies at the Bezos Earth Fund
- Dr. Chethan Sarabu, Director of Clinical Innovation at Cornell Tech’s Health Tech Hub and co-founder of the Climate Health Innovation & Learning Lab
