Human Impacts Atlanta: Where do we place our trust in a changing climate?
How can having trust and faith--whether it's from "having faith in science" to "having faith in a higher power"-- be a driving force for action and community building?
How do we inspire each other to make a difference?
Join the Human Impacts Institute, in partnership with the Transatlantic Climate Bridge Program of Germany, Georgia Solar Utilities, and the Green Tea Coalition, for the most inspiring event of the year, combining hip hop, dance, and the roots of Atlanta's diverse cultures to to find common solutions around addressing one of the most challenging issues of our times--climate change. Help us share your Atlanta community stories, and to emphasize locally-driven innovation and action and your positive impacts on our Nation and beyond.
See how the arts and performance can inspire dialogue among unlikely allies--from youth to corporations to government officials--and join in the conversation on how our diverse "missions" can address emissions and more with special guests, including:

Human Impacts Atlanta is a unique event in supporting the local community in redefining and re-communicating climate change through your passions, experiences, and strengths. As the first of eight different events across the U.S., these "salons" are creative spaces where diversity of viewpoints is key and tangible, collective action is the outcome.
At the Human Impacts Institute (HII), we inspire action for strong communities and a healthy environment through hands-on, service education, coalition building, and using arts and culture for social good. For more info: HumanImpactsInstitute.org
