Events Program + Community
The Climate Week NYC events program is the primary way for the communities and individuals to engage. Organizations are invited to host an event to become an official part of the program. The Climate Week NYC official events program is comprised of digital events from around the world and in New York City.
In 2020, Climate Week NYC joined with businesses and community organizations from across the five boroughs for our 'Climate Action is Our Business' campaign. Our mission was to promote the accessible steps that businesses are taking across the city and around the world to combat climate change, as well as to help New Yorkers and visitors discover businesses and organizations that are committed to protecting our planet.
