It’s a special evening at Shedd Aquarium. Climate conversations often focus on what is at risk, but this general assembly invites a different starting point: what we stand to gain, and what becomes possible when we see our world through fresh eyes. Bryant Waupoose offers a view into the indigenous climate ethic that has sustained ecosystems for generations. Elizabeth Dunn invites us to reimagine climate action through joy and possibility rather than sacrifice. Cristina Mittermeier makes the case for why our ocean remains our most powerful—and most overlooked—ally in the fight for a thriving planet. And Adam Semel offers a vision of cities transformed by energy storage innovation—unlocking greater resilience, livability, and sustainability at scale. Note: the sign up for Shedd Aquarium is currently full. We ask all signed up attendees arrive at Shedd by 6:15 pm. We may not be able to guarantee entry after this time.
