In September 2019 Voices for the Future lit the United Nations Secretariat and General Assembly in New York, ahead of the UN Climate Action Summit. An iceberg fell down the 505-foot Secretariat facade, then six young advocates spoke in the six official languages of the UN. It was made with Project Pressure and the Permanent Mission of New Zealand. See the work.

Voices for the Future, United Nations, 2019
A compelling visual prelude to the Climate Action Summit that combined a visual depiction of climate change, a collapsing iceberg, with the voices of six young people expressing their expectations and demands for a future in which leaders rise to the challenge.
