RSVP: Play in the Changing Climate

In this session, we'll delve deep into the power of nature-based approaches in building resilient communities and nurturing the holistic development of our young children. We'll explore the real challenges that hinder the creation of more green schoolyards and playgrounds, ranging from policy barriers to funding and maintenance issues in New York City. We'll uncover innovative ways to overcome challenges by drawing inspiration from successful examples of nature-based solutions, which transcend traditional sector boundaries and encourage cross-sectoral integration within city departments.
