About this episode

Reducing our impact on the climate can seem like an overwhelming task. But the truth is, leaders across sectors and industries are working tirelessly to make a difference – and many of those leaders are women. 

 

In this episode of the Healthy Spaces podcast, women sustainability leaders gather for a “Spilling the Tea” panel discussion during Climate Week NYC. The conversation, which was recorded live from the Tea Room of BG Restaurant inside Bergdorf Goodman, explores the collaborations, partnerships and bold initiatives that are helping chart a net-zero future together.

 

Listen to the full episode to learn from some of the dynamic women leading the charge on a comprehensive approach to net-zero through climate tech innovation, decarbonization, regenerative agriculture, grid modernization and more.
