SDG 15: LAND

Climate Week NYC: Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony launches Climate Week NYC each year. This is a chance for heads of state, government officials, CEOs and civil society leaders, to share their global outlook on climate change and action.

This year, we’re back in person in New York, and we’re putting climate in context of today’s world. We’ll explore the connected challenges of global security and climate. We’ll ask what’s stopping us from getting it done and how we create a more equitable economy.

Climate Week NYC: Under2 Coalition General Assembly

The Under2 Coalition General Assembly is the annual meeting of our member states and regions. It brings us together to share knowledge and first-hand experience of climate action and to challenge the international community to up its ambition and play its part.

This year we look forward to hearing from our five co-chairs for 2022-2024 as well as governors, premiers and first ministers from across our global membership. We look at what it means to ‘get it done’ as a state or regional government and how our networks can build reach and impact as we work towards a net zero world.

Climate Week NYC: Climate Leaders’ Reception

We’re inviting senior leaders from business, government and civil society to gather in-person for an evening at a high level venue, to celebrate climate action and debate how to deliver the next steps. We believe our network is greater than the sum of its parts and that only by coming together can we accelerate the transition to a green economy at the speed required.

The Reception is attended by an invited audience of leaders from business, government, and the climate sector. Places are limited and subject to approval. There is no fee for approved attendees.

Climate Week NYC: The Hub Live

We’re gathering over 1,000 international decision makers and leaders from business, policy and civil society to drive climate action, fast. Taking place in New York City across two days, this year’s The Hub Live is in person, under one roof.

Across the two days you’re invited to join a variety of networking and interactive sessions; from open discussions and debates to closed door roundtables, collaborative workshops and networking receptions.

Climate Week NYC: The Hub Live – Executive Series

Building on our successful digital roundtable series in 2021, the Executive Series is hosted in-person at The Hub Live at Climate Week NYC.

In partnership with PwC, this year’s series invites senior business and policy executives to connect and collaborate to get it done. A series of closed-door, invite only strategic roundtables hosted under the Chatham House rule for senior executives to be frank and honest about the challenges they face, to pull together for bolder climate leadership, and to find shared solutions to common challenges.

Island Resilience Forum at SDG Lounge

The Island Resilience Forum at the SDG Lounge will be a follow-up to the Island Resilience Summit at Earthx2022 that took place on Earth Day this year. The invite-only program will build upon the partnerships that were highlighted with progress reports and calls to action.

Preservation of the Ecological Balance

Mexico’s biodiversity is being threatened by pollution, climate change, and the destruction of habitat for endangered species such as sea turtles, who nest on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

This Facebook Live event will discuss how climate change affects endangered species. Specifically, it will cover Gulf of Mexico sea turtles, ocean and beach pollution, and our actions to preserve the ecological balance.

Voices in Miami: College Thoughts
