Event Details
The Center for Urban Science + Progress (CUSP) at NYU Tandon welcomes you to attend the lecture “Anthropocene climate risks and resilience in cities” by Timon McPhearson, founding director of the Urban Systems Lab, professor of urban ecology at The New School, and lead editor for Nature-based Solutions for Cities. This event is hosted as part of CUSP’s Spring 2025 Urban Science Research Seminar Series.
About the Lecture
Anthropocene climate risks and resilience in cities
Cities concentrate people, economic activity, and infrastructure creating vulnerability and risk to climate fueled extreme weather events. With climate change continuing to accelerate, and impacts on cities likely to accelerate as well, building resilience to an Anthropocene climate will require aggressive upscaling in adaptation solutions. What scientific information do cities need to effectively prioritize adaptation and resilience solutions to protect residents, critical infrastructure, and their economies? New York City (NYC) will provide a case study in how co-producing actionable climate science with decision-makers can improve data driven approaches to protect vulnerable residents and build resilience to an increasingly uncertain future. Results from the NYC Panel on Climate Change 4th Assessment Report and the recent NYC Vulnerability, Impacts, and Adaptation Study will serve as a backdrop to examine how scenario modeling and vulnerability assessment can advance more equitable resilience planning and response. Beyond NYC, how can we scale up climate risk information for less resourced cities to have access to similar actionable and cutting-edge science to prioritize investments and develop resilience plans? ClimateIQ, a new climate AI tool in development, will be presented that seeks to advance climate and data science using multiple forms of machine learning to scale operational climate risk data for urban areas across multiple climate hazards.
About the Speaker
Dr. Timon McPhearson is the founding director of the Urban Systems Lab, professor of urban ecology at The New School, and lead editor for Nature-based Solutions for Cities. His work takes an interdisciplinary systems approach to advancing urban resilience, equity, and sustainability earning the Ecological Society of America’s Sustainability Science Award twice as well as the Innovation in Sustainability Science Award. Dr. McPhearson was named an NYC Climate Hero and was awarded the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity as a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He is a Senior Research Fellow at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Stockholm Resilience Centre, and the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics at The Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences. He currently serves as co-chair of the NYC Panel on Climate Change. His books including Urban Planet (2018) and Resilient Urban Futures (2021) are widely read (over 300,000 downloads). He advises NGOs, corporations, and policymakers on urban climate risk and resilience, has spoken to audiences at Harvard, MIT, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, and Cornell among other universities, and his research is extensively covered including in The New York Times, The Guardian, Science Friday, NBC, PBS Newshour, Voice of America, and more.

Event Details
Artists have long been at the forefront of cultural and societal change, but how does their work influence the personal and collective shifts that drive economic and financial systems toward climate action? Moderated by LMCC President & CEO Moe Yousuf, this panel brings together artists Jean Shin and Mary Mattingly, climate finance expert Bruce Usher, and Anna Raginskaya, a financial advisor to clients in the cultural community, to explore how creative practices shape public consciousness, influence corporate sustainability strategies, and shift investment trends. From material innovation to impact investing, we’ll discuss how art inspires individual action, ultimately driving the economic changes necessary for a more sustainable future.
Art as a Catalyst: Shaping Climate Action & Economic Change is presented in partnership with The New York Climate Exchange and Stony Brook University.
