Spread across ten themes, the wider week works with climate leaders, activists, organizations and artists across the five boroughs on New York City, as well as a variety of hybrid and online activities. Organizers are invited to submit events from late April, with the list published late spring and updated weekly.
This year, the wider week will also include a Health theme, reflecting the increasing role it plays in how we discuss climate action. We’ll bring together a number of events which will explore the health impacts of climate change, cultural activations exploring its influence on different communities, conversations reflecting on the responsibility of companies in being transparent about their impact, and discussions looking at the latest innovations and technologies being used to mitigate the consequences climate change has on all our lives.
The Climate Week NYC events program runs across our ten event themes; Energy, Environmental Justice, Finance, Food, Health, Heavy Industry, Nature, Policy, Sustainable Living, and Transport.
