Climate Event at Cooper Union

By highlighting the moral necessity of addressing climate change, Laudato Si has challenged those in a wide array of fields to imagine new ways of protecting our planet based upon compassion and environmental knowledge.

We’ve invited a diverse group of musicians, artists, poets and scientists to reflect on the significance of Laudato Si and discuss the role that ethics, science and spirit play in addressing the challenges facing the earth.

Speakers include: Mary Evelyn Tucker, senior lecturer and research scholar at Yale’s School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and Divinity School; David Orr, professor of Environmental Studies and Politics at Oberlin College; and Arthur Lerner-Lam, professor and deputy director of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University.

Joy Harjo, David Turnbull, Andrew Sullivan and Marie Ponsot, among others, will also be presenting.

Our Common Home is sponsored by NRDC and partner organizations.
