    The text below is from The Climate Change Organisation's (the Climate Group) newsletter.

    "What is Climate Week NYC?


    Climate Week NYC is the largest annual climate event of its kind, bringing together some 400 events and activities across the City of New York – in person, hybrid and online. Each year, business leaders, political decision takers, local change makers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, gather to drive change, speed up progress, and champion change that is already happening. 

    Climate Group hosts Climate Week NYC, which brings together the most senior international figures from business, government, civil society and the climate sector. Our purpose is to drive climate action, fast.

    Read more about the week here.



    What's this year's theme?

    Our theme this year is We Can. We Will. It reflects determination, focus, but also a hopeful promise, and a call to action to do it together.

    It touches upon the action we need to take now, but also the need to look ahead and explore new opportunities. 

    Watch our launch video 
    here.


    What are the main events?

    The Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony is the most high-profile moment of the week. Taking place on Sunday, September 17, the event will feature major announcements, discussions, and interviews with international leadership from business, government, and the climate community.

    On Monday and Tuesday, September 18-19, we'll host The Hub Live. Bringing together more than 1,000 of the most influential leaders from business, government, and the climate sector."

    Hi: I read your post completely, then I read the link which is basically what you posted. Unless I missed it, is there any one place that will function as a "core" for the main presentations, or is this really an integrated media event spread all over the city with no real physical single point of focus?

    Hi Bill,

    Thank you for your message! Yes, under the Main Program tab there's the opening reception, which will take place on Sunday, 17 September. The event "will feature major announcements, discussions, and interviews with international leadership from business, government, and the climate community. Recent speakers include Prince Charles, Tim Cook, Jacinda Adern, the Hon. Chris Bowen, Kristalina Georgieva, Kathy Hochul, and Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala." There will also be an Executive Series discussion as well.

    From my understanding, anyone can host and be a part of Climate Week, and folks can watch it live on the Hub.

    Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Thank you!

    Ok. I started a reply to you and had to jump screen to a different spot, as I was leaving it asked if I wanted to save as a draft. I said yes.
    So I have come back to finish the message and I can not find out how to recover the draft.
    So, I will type it again.

    I have looked at every reference provided on this thread and nowhere can I find a specific physical location. (Name, Street address, etc.).
    SO my conclusion is either this is a completely virtual multi media experience or they are holding physical address(s) in secret until the event gets closer in time (Security reasons), or I am blind.

    SO far, its in NYC and that is the best it gets...
    Thanks for the info...

    Hi Bill,

    It looks like they aren't up on the website just yet as they say, "The Climate Week NYC Events program will be published on our website in spring. Details for registration for some 400 events taking place across the week will be listed alongside the relevant events."

    It will most likely be on their Events Page here - however, I see that they still have 2022 dates.

    My apologies for the confusion!

    Thanks so much,
    Ella
