In what promises to be the single-biggest climate event ever organized at the University of Pennsylvania, we're thrilled to host Designing a Green New Deal in the McHarg Center. More than 2,000 people have registered to attend this landmark event, and we expect that thousands more will view it in real-time on our livestream. We've also made the livestream available directly on the homepage of our website to make sure it's as easy to find as possible.

Whatever form the Green New Deal takes, it will be understood by most people through the buidlings, landscapes, public works, and transformations in the built environment that it creates. It is the single-biggest design and environmental idea in a century, and we're thrilled to be working with a new generation of leaders to help shape it.

If you can't make to Philadelphia tomorrow, don't worry—we have you covered. The event will be livestreamed on the Weitzman School's Vimeo account, the video recording will be made available shortly afterwards on our site, and the audio recording will be cut up and used to release four new episodes of Daniel Aldana Cohen and Kate Aronoff's Hot & Bothered climate podcast with Dissent Magazine later this fall (with Billy Fleming joining as their guest).

Finally, we just want to emphasize that the auditorium will be packed! Please arrive on time (or early), be mindful of where you sit, and pack a snack or two.
