SUMMARY:Fire and Ice Symposium | Banff\, Alta.
DESCRIPTION:Join Y2Y’s director of science and knowledge\, Dr. Graham McDowell\, as part of the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival Fire and Ice Symposium. \nOn Nov. 4\, Dr. McDowell will moderate breakout session B from 10:45-12pm mountain time. \nDr. McDowell will talk to Swiss glaciologist Dr. Andreas Linsbauer about how immersive technologies like virtual reality and interactive storytelling can transform complex glacier data into emotionally engaging experiences that make climate change more tangible and personal. Through award-winning projects that blend science\, art\, and education\, he demonstrates how these innovative communication tools can help people connect with climate issues and inspire meaningful action\, with potential applications for Canada’s mountain regions. \nOn Nov. 5\, Dr. McDowell will moderate breakout session B from 3:30-5pm mountain time. \nThe ice is melting and we need to mitigate and adapt. What does it look like to adapt\, and to communicate what adaptations will be needed in a changed future? Panelists Ignacio Palomo\, Kate Hanley\, and Marc Pons bring perspectives from mountain guides\, nature-positive adaptation and human connections to ice in the Indian Himalaya. Moderated by Graham McDowell. \nAbout the symposium\nThis 50th Anniversary public symposium will explore the role of storytelling to create positive impact and action\, through the lens of changing ice and wildfire. Attendees will gain new knowledge about the landscapes we care about\, be inspired by seeing the work that people are doing in the space to create a better future\, and gain insights into compelling storytelling\, leaving with an optimism/drive to make a positive impact. Listen\, interact and exchange stories with educators\, artists\, writers\, scientists\, environmental experts\, and adventurers on topics that affect us all. \nTickets start at $30. Each block of morning and afternoon sessions includes a plenary session followed by two breakout sessions to choose from. Buy session tickets or symposium passes which provides access to all symposium programs on November 4 and 5. \nHeader photo: James Balog

SUMMARY:TEDxBoston Planet Action 2025 | Cambridge\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Jodi Hilty for a talk on the effort to create the world’s largest wildlife corridor from Yellowstone to Yukon as part of the series of talks on connected conservation on Day 1 of Planet Action 2025\, a TEDxBoston event. \nTED talks are short\, focused presentations where someone shares an innovative idea\, personal story\, or insight on stage. TEDx talks are independently organized under the TED license\, while maintaining the same spirit of “ideas worth spreading.” \nPlanet Action aims to share actionable ideas for a livable planet to the audience\, with speakers sharing ideas on biodiversity protection\, resilient waters\, models for recovery\, sustainable cities\, and more. The event will take place November 15 and 16 at the Kresge Auditorium on the MIT Campus in Cambridge\, Massachusetts. \nTickets are free\, but limited\, so register to secure yours now. \nMore about Planet Action \nNow in its fourth year\, this gathering builds on the momentum of other Planet Action talks which have reached millions of viewers worldwide and featured speakers from 30 countries and 80 universities. \n\nDay 1 highlights recovery models for biodiversity\, soils\, water\, and food systems. \nDay 2 focuses on reimagining energy\, materials\, and infrastructure for a net-zero future. \nDay 3 brings back stories from past cohorts to share impact stories and progress. \n\nAcross all three days\, the sessions spotlight the critical actions and innovations that must scale in this decisive decade\, underscoring both the urgency and the possibility of building a regenerative\, sustainable future.

SUMMARY:Y2Y Wild Film Fest 2025  | Online
DESCRIPTION:As glaciers retreat and habitats shift\, connection is everything.\n2025 is the International Year of the Glaciers’ Preservation — a moment to reckon with what we’re losing and what we can still protect. From melting ice fields to threatened habitat to fragmented migration routes\, our changing climate is redrawing the map of the Yellowstone to Yukon region.
