Climate Week NYC
Climate Week NYC is a charity event that takes place in New York City every year. Its purpose is to promote climate action by appealing to "business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives". Climate Week NYC is run by Climate Group. It is the largest of the organization's annual flagship international events, and the largest annual climate event of its kind according to the organizers.
The first Climate Week NYC took place in 2009. The summit is held alongside the United Nations General Assembly, allowing heads of state and other senior governmental figures to attend and participate.
Climate Week NYC considers itself the largest annual climate event of its kind. It was described by the New York Times as the ‘Burning Man for Climate Geeks’.
Climate Week NYC also creates a platform for some 600 bigger and smaller events across the City of New York, led by people and organisations that support climate action.
Over the years, many influential leaders have participated in Climate Week NYC, including New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern as well as the Presidents of Haiti, Peru and the Marshall Islands. John Kerry, US Secretary of State, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple and Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC have also joined the Opening Ceremonies. In 2023, many notable figures, including Jane Fonda, Governor of Maryland Wes Moore, and Razan Al Mubarak, current President of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, spoke during the event.
Previous event partners include Saint-Gobain, McKinsey Sustainability and Google, as well as Intersectional Environmentalist and the Youth Climate Justice Fund.
In 2020, Climate Week NYC turned into a virtual event due to the global Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic and was the largest climate summit to take place that year. In a keynote opening address, King Charles said, "Without swift and immediate action, at an unprecedented pace and scale, we will miss the window of opportunity to 'reset' for... a more sustainable and inclusive future."
In 2023, Climate Week NYC took place from September 17–24. The Hub Live brought together 1,857 of the most influential leaders from business, government, and the climate sector. The year’s theme was We Can. We Will. Over 580 events were held, with over 6,500 attendees from 96 countries, both in person and virtually. Climate Week NYC stated the event's media reach was 6.9 billion, the largest Climate Group summit to date.
