Climate Action Days

About Climate Action Days

As the largest public school system in the country, we can make a positive impact! That’s why New York City Public Schools has launched Climate Action Days.

On these four days, every school in New York City engages in climate action to build a better future, for our students and our planet. Like Earth Day, these are days to galvanize action, but focused on celebrating solutions and schoolwide action.
