Each year at Climate Week NYC, Climate Group brings together senior leaders from business, government, and civil society for an evening reception in New York City. The event celebrates progress and highlights the priorities needed to advance global climate action.
This mix of experienced climate leaders and emerging frontrunners helps shape the next phase of the climate agenda at the speed required. We’re ever closer to the scales of the energy transition tipping decisively towards renewable energy – but we need to keep pushing to reach that point.
