Climate Café: The Double Edge of AI and Data Farms (Central Library)
2025-09-20 15:00 - 17:00 | Brooklyn Central Library, 10 Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, NY, 11238, United States
Are you worried or concerned about climate change? Does the climate crisis make you anxious? Want to take local climate action but don’t know how or where?
Join our Climate Café at Brooklyn Public Library (BPL) to discuss everything related to the climate crisis (including how it makes you feel). Whether you’re a concerned New Yorker, an activist, or just curious about the topic, this community-organized space is for you. According to Force of Nature, as 70% of young people feel climate anxiety and 56% believe humanity is doomed, we urgently need spaces to navigate our climate emotions and translate them into action.
Come and have open and meaningful conversations about the climate crisis, share your ideas, listen to inspiring talks, learn about local initiatives and emotional resilience tools, and connect with like-minded individuals. Join us to become a part of a network of thousands of activists and concerned individuals through climate cafés worldwide.
The 2025 BPL Climate Café Series intends to focus on linking climate concern and anxiety to local action, exploring technologies, innovations and initiatives for climate action in the broad sense. Please join us for the Fall Session: The Double Edge of AI and Data Farms. Digital footprint vs Climate Solutions. What is the environmental impact of AI and data farms? Could AI technology help combat climate change?
Registration is strongly encouraged but not required.

Climate Week NYC 2025
2025-09-21 | Many venues
Climate Week NYC, the biggest annual climate event of its kind, is back on September 21 – 28.
The event takes place every year in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and is run in coordination with the United Nations and the City of New York. It brings together inspiring heads of government, climate leaders, action takers, and innovators from the world of business, government, politics, tech, academia, and civil society. They’ll drive the transition forward and turn those who aren’t yet going fast enough into action takers.
It also creates a platform for some 600 events across New York City, led by people and organizations that want push the needle on climate action.
That makes Climate Week NYC an event that drives climate action by those at the very top of business and politics, but also by communities, artists and activists, bound together by this year’s battle cry of Climate Week NYC: It’s Time.
Learn more about the week and watch sessions on demand to get a feel for what’s in store.
