Meeting the Moment – Building Durable Environmental Progress in a Changing World

​Join NRDC President & CEO Manish Bapna in conversation with leading voices from across the climate and environmental community to discuss the current moment facing the environmental community and how we move forward together. In the context of quickly evolving political, economic, international, and communications landscapes, environmental advocates must grapple with a pressing challenge: how do we build durable support for solutions that protect the environment, while meaningfully addressing the issues people care about in their daily lives? This gathering will explore how NRDC will sharpen our focus, broaden the constituencies we work with, and connect our work advancing environmental solutions to tangible improvements for people’s lives.

​Lunch and light refreshments will be served, with opportunities for participants to engage with each other and NRDC leaders.
