ITP is very excited about current Grant Partner Tara DePorte of Human Impact Hours and her Impact Hours program - Amplifying and Inspiring Impact.  The Impact Hours series will dig into ongoing environmental and social justice work, while sharing tools for more effective personal and organizational action.  Helping people navigate the current climate of information “clutter” is more important than ever.  Each Impact Hour will include perspectives from an artist, activist, and academic on issues of communication, engagement, action, and impact.  Together, we will challenge each other's assumptions and share practical tactics for sparking social change.  Join in-person in NYC (space is limited) or online from around the world.  Read more about the series topics and sign up to participate: » Read More

Online Impacts Hour #2: Americans’ Views on Climate Change w/Anthony Leiserowitz, Ph.D. Senior Research Scientist at the Yale University School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and Director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication..  Join here.

Building on the inspiring momentum that began at the 2015 Invoking the Pause Grant Partner Gathering and carried through to COP21 Paris, several ITP GPs and "Allies" decided to reconvene on a regular basis in a unique and creative way to continue the conversation. The partnering team of Tara DePorte of Human Impacts Institute, Mark Schapiro - Investigative Journalist, Reinhard Hohlwein - Environmental Consultant, Andy Behar - As You Sow, and Alicia Escott - Artist; decided on a series of online Google Hangout video chats. These chats - entitled Impacts Hour - will each be facilitated by a team partner and feature a different topic/theme with a special guest speaker. The first Impact Hour facilitated by Mark Schapiro and featuring author Espen Stoknes takes place on June 16th at 12pm EDT.  Visit Human Impacts Institute to see the full schedule and join the conversation.
