Planetary Stewardship

Sun & Mon, Nov 13-14th  |  Boston, MA

 

Join us in-person for our inaugural Planetary Stewardship Event that will elevate transformative ideas on climate and establish Boston as a hub for driving powerful ideas toward global climate and sustainability solutions. 

Timed to align with the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference, this 2-day event is designed to spotlight actionable ideas for human activity to achieve a sustainable relationship with the planet’s natural systems. 100 talks from a broad range of experts will explore how research and scaling of technologies and practices can bring us closer toward planetary stewardship goals.

The talks will take place at 5 anchor sites across historic Boston (New England Aquarium, GBH, MIT Media Lab, The ‘Quin House, Codman Academy).
