Events to explore at Climate Week NYC

Climate Week NYC is only a week away!  

As the core of Climate Week NYC, the official events program is the primary way for communities and individuals to engage. Last year, Climate Week NYC went completely virtual, proving that climate action can still move ahead in the face of significant challenges. This year the events program is organized into ten themes and offers activities in a variety of formats—virtual, in-person and hybrid—to ensure that everyone can engage with the week no matter where you are.
