A student in my program told me that she has to walk past the Climate Clock in Union Square every day on her way to school and it's a stark reminder that time is running out to act on climate. So today, in this student's honor, an intergenerational group of us gathered at the?Climate Clock?to call on our elected representatives?to include a $536,000 budget allocation for climate education in the final FY 26 New York State budget. This $$ request is just 0.001% of the state education budget and is approved by the Board of Regents; 83% of New Yorkers support climate education (Yale Climate Opinion Maps, 2024) The clock is ticking; it's time to act. We must educate our students about climate impacts and solutions.
