Climate Week NYC And that’ s exactly the reason Climate Week NYC was set up. Climate Group’ s flagship event takes place every September alongside the UN General Assembly. The network effect is staggering: in 2024, there were around 900 affiliate events ranging from grassroots poetry readings to global summits with the world’ s largest companies and most influential leaders, including Sustainability LIVE.
“ It’ s a very powerful point in the climate agenda – it serves to shape up what’ s coming for COP,” Helen explains.
Affiliate events must pass a climate relevance check, with the Climate Group curating the programme across themes. For example, professionals interested only in the food sector can filter events accordingly.
For two days, Climate Group runs the Opening Ceremony and The Hub Live, a meeting point ranging from high-level sessions to focused roundtables.
“ We did one last year on the first responsible steel-certified refinery. A small but focused group of a hundred people made real progress there,” Helen says.
