About Climate Action Days

As the largest public school system in the country, we can make a positive impact! That’s why New York City Public Schools are launching Climate Action Days.

On these four days, every school in New York City will engage in climate action to build a better future, for our students and our planet. Like Earth Day, these are days to galvanize action, but focused on celebrating solutions and schoolwide action.
