Bridging the Carbon Gap
Join high school students at Hunter College High School in Manhattan, New York City (NYC), on their journey to gain knowledge about climate change, a topic that is not taught enough to young students across the U.S. We interview climate activists, experts, and researchers about their work and experiences, and use our knowledge to think about how a climate change themed high school education can be created. This podcast is created in collaboration with newyork.thecityatlas.org.
