How are nature-based solutions reshaping transatlantic climate cooperation? Join us during NY Climate Week!

The Transatlantic Climate Breakfast comes to New York Climate Week with special guest Steffi Lemke, current Green Party member of the German Bundestag and former Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection. New York-based practitioners and policy experts, including Elizabeth Stoehr from the Jamaica Bay Rockaway Park Conservancy, will join over breakfast to discuss how nature-based solutions are reshaping cities’ responses to climate change.

For those wishing to join remotely, we will offer a hybrid dial-in. Please select the appropriate ticket when registering.

At the Transatlantic Climate Breakfast series, hosted by the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany; the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Washington, DC; the Friedrich Ebert Foundation USA & Canada; and E3G, participants exchange views with experts in the US and Europe on various challenges in the climate and energy field. The goal is to foster a resilient network of transatlantic climate experts.

“For me, environmental and consumer policy serve the causes of freedom, justice, and the protection of our natural resources. Preserving democracy in an intact environment is my guiding principle.”
