Climate Group has a tiered charging structure to ensure we can provide the best level of support. For profit companies pay a $600 registration fee, while qualifying non profit organizations, schools, community groups, and government bodies are asked to make a donation of any amount instead of paying a fee.

Please take note of important fee deadlines and increases below

Standard for-profit fee: $600 from April 29 through to August 18 

NGO/non-profit: Donation of any amount requested 

Late for-profit registration fee: $1200 from August 19 – September 12

This fee is paid once, regardless of how many events you submit.

Submissions close September 12, 2025. Exclusions to this are considered on a case-by-case basis and cannot be guaranteed.

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), and there are few reasons for that. 

First of all, many of our key audiences will already be in New York, including global businesses, so aligning the events is a way to save on emissions from our business partners, political leaders and media, as they won’t have to travel to New York twice. Further to that, it ensures that climate change is on the political agenda in a week that global government leaders gather. And thirdly, we want to bring the worlds of corporates, politics and civil society together. Decoupling Climate Week NYC from UNGA would make that more difficult, not easier.  

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, also 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 2025 have already been chosen.
