Be a part of Climate Week
Conservation International is kicking off Climate Week in New York by creating a one-of-a-kind origami forest and launching the new Team Earth.
Join us in New York!
September 20th - Join us for a playful, artistic experience. World-renowned origami master, Dr. Robert J. Lang, is installing a large-scale forest of origami trees in Greeley Plaza all day. Origami is the perfect medium to represent the tropical forests that deliver so many benefits for all of us: it is beautiful, complex, and very fragile. Bring your friends and family, learn how to make origami trees, leaves, and animals, and come ready to be inspired.
September 21st - Join us as we challenge world leadership to protect the natural systems that sustain us. Against the backdrop of our origami forest, Harrison Ford and Guyana’s President Bharrat Jagdeo (and other special guests) will call on world leaders attending the UN General Assembly to provide developing nations with funding to keep the planet’s tropical forests standing.
All events are free and open to the public. Please join us if you can.

What is Team Earth?
The September 21st event will include the exciting launch of CI's new Team Earth—an initiative created to generate commitment and action from every sector of our global society. On Monday, corporate, educational and environmental leaders will stand shoulder to shoulder to invite the whole world to work together to protect our one shared home: Earth.
