About Climate Week NYC 2023
Climate Week NYC is a pivotal milestone in our collective journey toward COP28. This year being held September 17th-24th alongside the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), it is the largest annual climate event of its kind. The centerpiece of the High-Level Week of the General Assembly is the SDG Summit on September 18th-19th — marking a midpoint for the deadline set for achieving the 2030 Agenda.
The decisions made and actions taken during these key moments will shape the trajectory and success of global sustainability initiatives. WBCSD will once again bring the progressive voice of business to the week’s events, creating engagement opportunities for leading CEOs and senior executives.
Here is an overview of our activities for the week. Please continue to consult this page for updated information.
