Music Climate Revolution

Forest Hills Stadium is a founding partner of REVERB’s Music Climate Revolution campaign uniting the entire music community to fight the climate crisis. In addition to the actions taken to limit the environmental impact of concerts, Forest Hills Stadium  neutralized 100% of venue emissions by helping fund diverse global projects that measurably draw down or eliminate greenhouse gas pollution while strengthening communities.
