For years, New York City has been recognized as a pioneer in urban sustainability. More and more New Yorkers understand that ecological issues affect every aspect of their day-to-day lives, and there is a growing demand that our elected officials recognize the centrality of sustainability in the life of the city.
The New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund, in collaboration with The Cooper Union Institute for Sustainable Design, has therefore organized the New York City Mayoral Forum on Sustainability. This is the first forum of its kind where all major candidates for New York City Mayor will address questions about the sustainable future of the city. This event will be hosted in The Cooper Union’s Great Hall, and will be moderated by WNYC’s very own Brian Lehrer.
“I think we’re seeing a sea change in our environmental understanding,” said Kevin Bone, Professor of Architecture and Director of The Cooper Union Institute for Sustainable Design. “Whoever becomes the next Mayor of New York City has the responsibility to ensure that our air, our water, our buildings, our streets, and our whole mode of interacting with our environment is safe and sustainable for future generations. This understanding has become more and more widespread, and we want to give this idea the forum it deserves.”
This event will be held on April 22, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in The Cooper Union Great Hall. The event requires an RSVP, so we encourage interested students, faculty, staff and community members to rsvp online at www.nylcvef.org or call 212-361-6350 for more information...This is a free event.
