The 2024 Climate Week NYC is taking place September 22 – 29 in New York City. The annual event is hosted by Climate Group and held in conjunction with the meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. It will gather international leaders from politics, business, and science to advocate for climate change reforms. The sessions will indicate the future of climate change policy and provide insight for business leaders as to future regulations.
The overall theme of the 2024 meeting is “It’s Time.” The programming is divided into four categories: The New Industrial Revolution; The Energy and Transportation Transition; Nature, Food Systems and Health; and Leadership and Green Growth. Each session is hosted by organizations and businesses throughout the city.
With over 600 sessions running simultaneously in person and via livestream, finding the right schedule can be difficult. Here are five programs focused on regulatory developments in the European Union that business leaders should watch during Climate Week, plus one occurring after.
