The Hub Live provides a platform for doers, drivers and trailblazers of climate action where they share, collaborate, and inspire the change that is needed to overcome the hurdles in our path.
In 2025, we put inspiring businesses and governments front and center. The Hub Live convened three flagship sessions and dozens of breakouts, side events and round tables. Climate leaders sharpened the audience’s thinking, and explored the action, innovation and collaboration needed to speed up climate success, ignite progress and go faster.
Watch all The Hub Live Sessions from Climate Week NYC 2025 on demand.

The Hub Live, Climate Week NYC’s interactive program, delves into some of the world’s most urgent climate obstacles, policies and solutions across four key streams:
-
Industry and Built Environment - Built environment and heavy industry are at the heart of the global emissions challenge – but they’re also part of the solution. From green construction to circular supply chains and industrial electrification, we must lead the charge in reimagining how we build and produce to drive efficiency and future-proof the industries that form the backbone of our economies.
-
Energy and Transport - Energy and transport are the lifeblood of the global economy – and key to unlocking deep emissions cuts. From accelerating the clean energy transition to scaling electrified and low-carbon transport solutions, we must transform how we power our world and move people and goods to enhance energy security, build resilient infrastructure and ensure sustainable development for all.
-
Nature, Food Systems and Health - Nature, food systems, and health are deeply interconnected, forming the foundation of a thriving, sustainable world where success is measured not only on carbon emission reduction but the impact it has on human lives. But as climate change accelerates, these systems face unprecedented pressure, disrupting ecosystems, food security, and public health. It’s critical to anticipate and address these hurdles to build a future where people and the planet can thrive together.
-
Leadership and Green Growth - To speed up the transition, we need to finance solutions and technologies at scale – but funders can be hesitant to finance solutions that aren’t scalable yet. To break that deadlock, we’ll be looking at the finance that exists, new models, ways of collaboration between governments and the private sector, and the importance of the transition being fair and just.
