Sessions

Surge

Surge Session are our annual evening of short, impactful, and transformative climate stories and lessons from local experts. These TEDx style talks delve into the central question of our time: will the Lowcountry rise to meet the climate crisis?

We want folks to leave feeling like they have a deeper, more holistic understanding of the climate crisis -- its severity and inequities, and the creative and human forces rising to answer it -- and in the end to feel energized to join the climate liberation movement.
