Heading to Climate Week NY for the first time. Be gentle:) And hey, open to joining panels, discussions etc. Anywhere a provocative view on climate is needed! #climateweeknyc

What's your take on Climate Week? A possibility for greenwashers to get together and pad each other on the back? Aloof political gathering? Citizen activism when best?
