What is the Carbon Newbie Summit?
A casual conference for carbon newbies interested in getting the 101, 201, and maybe 301 on carbon. From personal to professional carbon footprint, attendees walk away with tools and inspiration to take action on reducing emissions!
Our inaugural summit during NYC Climate Week featured speakers from Allbirds, the NBA, Mastercard, Bloomberg, Nasdaq, United Nations, and more. You won’t want to miss this!
"The Carbon Newbie Summit is an opportunity for folks from all backgrounds to establish a foundation of climate knowledge and to explore their role in this movement — because shifting to a low carbon future will take all of us, from scientists and technical experts, to artists and entrepreneurs and everyone in between.""
