Dartmouth’s Institute of Arctic Studies leads three events at 2025 Climate Week NYC
Dartmouth faculty and staff are convening discussions on Indigenous communities, innovation, and green finance in the Arctic.
The gathering in New York City started on Sept. 21 and runs to Sept. 28. Events led by Dartmouth include,
The Arctic Awakens
At 2 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 22, Dartmouth’s Institute of Arctic Studies partnered with the University of the Arctic and the Consulate General of Finland to host The Arctic Awakens: Driving Climate Justice, Circular Innovation, and Green Finance.
The three-hour invitation-only event at the Cornell Club on East 44th Street convened Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders, scholars, and innovators to show how communities in the Arctic are driving solutions in a region experiencing dire effects from a warming climate.
Skiing and Sustainability
At 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 23, the Dartmouth Sustainability Office, in conjunction with the Sierra Club of New York City, and the State University of New York, hosted Skiing and Sustainability: Achieving Scope 1 and Scope 2 Net-Zero Emissions.
The discussion at the SUNY Global Center on East 55th Street was open to the public and livestreamed. It used the ski industry as a case study for how a multibillion-dollar sector deeply impacted by changes in snow cover can work to reduce its direct and indirect (“scope 1” and “scope 2”) carbon emissions.
Cross-Border Currents
At 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24, Dartmouth’s Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society, the Lawson Climate Institute at the University of Toronto, and global energy investment firm Quinbrook are co-sponsoring Cross-Border Currents: Insights into Future U.S.-Canada Energy Dynamics.
More than 200 investors, Canadian officials, and alumni in the energy sector are expected to attend the invitation-only event, which comes at a pivotal moment in the U.S-Canada relations, says organizer Derek Walker, executive director of the Irving Institute.
Dartmouth’s presence this year builds on its success in 2024 co-hosting a panel with the University of the Arctic and the Finnish Consulate on climate tipping points and the Arctic—an event that was celebrated by Climate Insider as a highlight of Climate Week.
