Climate Week NYC (September 21-27, 2020) is the biggest climate summit taking place this year. It is organized by the United Nations, New York City and the non-profit “The Climate Group”
Climate Week NYC 2020 will explore what lessons we can learn in the pursuit of a net-zero future through just transition.
All events, as well as highlights from over 350 events taking place across New York City and around the world, will be available to view from our Facebook Watch page starting Monday, September 21, 2020. You can also search our events program, save events to your schedule, and explore Climate Week NYC from your phone via free mobile phone app [iOS and Android].
Our “For New York, for the World” approach is crucial to put people at the heart of climate action and build a better future. We must rebuild the global economy for people and planet, and we must halve global emissions by the end of this decade.
The Climate Group will host all our events, including the Opening Ceremony and the Hub Live, on an online digital platform that will incorporate live broadcast, interactive sessions, networking areas and meeting space. We will also support the hundreds of events hosted across New York City and around the world as part of the official Climate Week NYC events program.
Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony
The Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony brings together business and government leaders to showcase amazing climate action and find ways to do more. We will broadcast the Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony through both an interactive online digital platform for sector leaders and on an open on-demand platform for public viewers.
The Hub Live at Climate Week NYC
Now in its third year, Climate Group will host The Hub Live – a series of forums, discussions and workshops that bring together the expertise and influence of public and private sectors. The Hub Live is hosted through an interactive online digital platform where attendees can meet, collaborate, and inspire each other to build a better future.
