At PICS, we believe that meaningful climate action starts with meaningful conversation.
Bringing people together across generations, disciplines, and lived experience is core to how we work and why we host events like David Suzuki: Conversation of a Lifetime.
Another record-breaking year for PICS climate internships 🌱
Students gain real-world experience. Organizations gain capacity. Climate action moves forward.
