Why do you run Climate Week NYC during UNGA? That’s the time when New York is at its busiest, and hotel rooms at their priciest.
We very consciously run Climate Week NYC at the same time as the UN General Assembly (UNGA). Many of our key audiences will already be in New York, including global businesses, so aligning the events is a way to save emissions from our business partners, political leaders and media, as they won’t have to travel to New York twice.
And with Climate Week NYC having grown into the large event that it now is, with thousands of people gathering in New York City to discuss climate action, prices for hotels and event spaces will be similar to what they are now, even if we’d decouple the event from UNGA.
We keep in close contact with key partners to see if there are more efficient ways to organize Climate Week NYC. We plan this event over a year ahead, in alignment with UNGA and so suppliers, venues and dates for 2026 have already been chosen.
