Climate Week NYC, by Climate Group
As hosts of Climate Week NYC, Climate Group runs a series of events which form the main program of the week. The Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony and The Hub Live brings together a global audience of senior leaders from business, government and the climate community.
1. Opening Ceremony
Monday, September 19, 9:00 – 1:00pm ET
The Opening Ceremony launches Climate Week NYC each year. The agenda is a chance for heads of state, government officials, CEOs, and civil society leaders, to share their global outlook on climate change and climate action.
This year, we’re back in person, live from New York and we’re putting climate in context on today’s world. We’ll explore global security, climate, and connected challenges. We ask what’s stopping us from getting it done. And how we rebuild a more equitable economy.
Themes
- Session one: Putting climate in context
- Session two: The cold truths for a warming world
- Session three: Investing in equity and the economy
After the Opening Ceremony we'll be hosting a Climate Leaders' Reception, to celebrate what climate action has achieved and debate how to deliver the next steps.

Across the two days you’re invited to join a variety of networking and interactive sessions – from open discussions and debates to closed door roundtables, collaborative workshops, and networking receptions.
