    • Abstract:
      Adrian Silver, a climate professional, created a gathering for queer climate professionals in Central Park in 2022. The event was successful, and Silver realized that there was a need for a community for LGBTQ+ professionals in the climate space in New York City. He co-founded Out in Climate, a nonprofit organization that aims to create a safe and welcoming space for queer professionals in the climate industry. Silver was inspired by a similar group he found in San Francisco and wanted to provide the same support and networking opportunities for others. Out in Climate hopes to expand to include mentorship opportunities and career advancement support in the future. [Extracted from the article]
