What would you like to see achieved from Climate Week NYC?

Chris Walker: I want to see continued momentum. And I think what’ s exciting about this week and about things that we see happening during climate week is that everybody leaves the week excited because of the conversations, the events or the networking connections that they’ ve made.
That has to continue: that momentum of keeping the connections, keeping the conversations going, checking in with each other, having data-driven conversations about the progress you’ re making or about the hurdles you’ re facing. That needs to be something that’ s fostered and continued outside of these weeks. And so I think that, if we can capitalise on that momentum and keep it going throughout the rest of the year, that’ s going to be a big win.
Jim Andrew: Action. What I want to see achieved coming out of Climate Week is not talking, but action. PepsiCo is looking for where we find more partnerships. Where do we find different kinds of partnerships?
I’ m always looking for the people that I don’ t partner with, but I certainly talk with those that we do partner with. How do we deepen, how do we broaden?
And then also to learn. We’ re here sharing things that work and things that haven’ t worked, lessons that we’ ve learned so that others can learn from us. And I’ m certainly looking for the same thing from others at various events.
