Join NYBG during Climate Week NYC 2024 for our annual conference-this year's theme is centered on the importance of harnessing biodiversity to improve climate resilience.

Jennifer Bernstein, NYBG's CEO and The William C. Steere Sr. President, will welcome symposium guests. The keynote address will be given by anthropologist, ethnobotanist, and author Wade Davis, followed by a panel discussion on Nurturing Nature Through Ecosystem Restoration and Conservation with prominent scientists and practitioners. Then, in the afternoon, join us back in Ross Hall for a special screening of Blue Carbon: Nature's Hidden Power-an immersive documentary that combines the universal languages of music and science into a vibrant call to action to protect the planet.
