As the global community gathers for Climate Week NYC 2026, the Québec Government Office in New York invites leadership from premier academic institutions and private sector innovators to a high-level roundtable. Building on the foundation laid during our 2024 collaboration, Green Campuses 2.0 reconvenes key stakeholders from Québec and the United States to assess the progress of campus decarbonization. This session moves beyond theoretical goals, focusing on the practical implementation, scalable successes, and cross-border partnerships required to transform university campuses into living laboratories for a net-zero future. Thematic Focus & Objectives Universities are uniquely positioned to lead the energy transition. By leveraging massive procurement power, complex infrastructure, and data-driven management, they serve as at-scale testing grounds for solutions that can be exported to the broader urban environment.
