The Jewish Climate Leadership Coalition, which launched in September, is the largest Jewish communal effort to date mobilizing Jewish institutions to address the climate crisis. Join this session to learn how you and your team can engage your entire school community and take meaningful action on climate change. By joining the coalition and participating in Prizmah’s Climate Leadership Collaborative, you will be part of a network of schools working towards meaningful change, and you will have the opportunity to learn from the experience of your colleagues across the network and from experts at Hazon.
