The Midwinter Climate Institute 2025 has just concluded, leaving behind a wave of inspiration and new resources for 500 New York City Public School (NYCPS) educators committed to integrating climate change education (CCE) into their classrooms. Held over three days—two in-person sessions at Teachers College, Columbia University, and one remote learning day—this Institute provided a collaborative space for K-12 teachers to engage with experts, exchange best practices, and explore multidisciplinary approaches to climate education. Funded by the NYC Mayor’s Office, anc co-sponsored by The Earth Network: Climate Education for a Resilient Future and Subject to Climate, the initiative is part of a broader effort to embed CCE in all NYCPS schools, aligning with the city's strategy to empower Sustainability Coordinators, implement Climate Action Days, and provide robust professional development opportunities for educators.
