Conservation International is kicking off Climate Week in New York today by creating a one-of-a-kind origami forest and launching the new Team Earth.

World-renowned origami master, Dr. Robert J. Lang, is installing a large-scale forest of origami trees in Greeley Plaza all day. If you are in New York bring your friends and family, learn how to make origami trees, leaves, and animals, and come ready to be inspired.

Monday, September 21st - Challenge our world leaders to protect the natural systems that sustain us. Against the backdrop of the Climate Week 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.

Also on the 21st is 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.
