Reimagining A Fair Data Future: Launch of the Data Values Campaign

This side event, hosted by the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, will launch the Data Values Campaign, a global campaign centered around a manifesto for change that sparks dialogue, builds a movement, and catalyzes action to unlock a fairer data future for all. The campaign will be a movement that brings together diverse and often underrepresented perspectives, stories, and expertise on issues around data and power. The event will frame the need to critically examine the ways that power is distributed in the production, sharing, and use of data, and in how data use and governance can challenge or exacerbate existing power imbalances.

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.

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.
