Join students at Hunter College High School and Stuyvesant, two schools in New York City, on their journey to gain knowledge about climate change, a topic that is not taught enough to young students across the U.S. We interview climate activists, experts, and researchers about their work and experiences, and use our knowledge to think about how a climate change themed high school education can be created.

Eugene Kirpichov on building a regenerative economy
Episode 3
Sunday, 30 November, 2025
Eugene Kirpichov, a former software engineer at Google, describes why he and his colleague Cassandra Xia left their positions at Google to create Work on Climate, a rapidly growing nonprofit aimed at mobilizing the talent that can build a regenerative green economy. Kirpichov calls for redesigning the economy so that all activities will contribute to the health of the entire system. For those seeking ways to join the effort, Kirpichov explains that opportunities don't only come from companies that are already focused on climate. Since every industry has to change, there are a wide range of jobs where someone may make greater impact through bringing new ideas to roles that once may not have been 'climate-focused.' Kirpichov challenges the notion that the climate crisis is about saving nature, instead describing global destabilization as an existential threat to human civilization.This interview is conducted by Marie Fadeyeva, a recent Columbia graduate in computer science.https://workonclimate.org/Transcript: https://newyork.thecityatlas.org/cityatlas-guests-interviews/eugene-kirpichov/Send us a text
