A moment of change Climate Week NYC catalyses transformative moments each year. Helen recalls how California Governor Gavin Newsom announced landmark legislation against big oil companies for decades of misinformation at the event“ almost as a forcing function – he was on stage and even his staffers were unsure if the announcement would happen”.
Similarly, the L’ Oreal Group made a major € 15m( US $ 17.5m) fund commitment at Climate Week in 2024.
“ It draws attention to the topic – half the people who get on stage feel they have to say something big,” says Helen.
The event is also“ an engine for happenstance,” with collaborations often emerging from chance encounters.
“ Last year, on stage, someone said their whole project idea was sparked from an introduction at Climate Week NYC two years ago,” Helen shares. sustainabilitymag. com 31
