We’re in an age of urgency. Yes, investment in the energy transition hit a record high in 2023, overtaking fossil fuels and reaching US $1.8 trillion. And some governments, organizations and businesses are doing incredible work to speed up climate action like incentivizing renewable energy deployment or fostering innovation in zero-carbon materials. However, the world also continues to grapple with extreme weather events, with 2024 starting out as the hottest year ever recorded and greenhouse gas emissions not really coming down. We’re simply not going fast enough – yet. That’s why Climate Week NYC is returning with an urgent message: It’s Time. Every September, Climate Group organizes Climate Week NYC, gathering tens of thousands of people to drive climate action. Together, we challenge the status quo, create ideas, influence, inspire, and energize each other.

We are entering a new era of business in Europe and now is the time to learn and embrace the new investment, collaboration and innovation opportunities that await. This event will unite 750+ leaders from across government, corporate and finance to outline how they’re meeting the incoming regulations and driving real action on climate.
