Since its creation in 2009, Climate Week NYC has become the most important global gathering for climate action. Year after year, world leaders, activists, scientists, and business figures turn New York into the epicenter of conversations about the planet’s future.
Among the personalities who have left the biggest mark on the event are:
- Christiana Figueres, former Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, remembered for her decisive role in the Paris Agreement.
- Greta Thunberg, the youth voice who transformed climate indignation into a global movement of millions of students and activists.
- Michael Bloomberg, entrepreneur and former mayor of New York City, champion of local climate initiatives with global impact.
- Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President, whose activism and scientific communication brought the climate crisis to political and media agendas.
- Jane Goodall, scientist and nature defender, a symbol of the bond between biodiversity and climate action.
These voices, among many others, have turned Climate Week NYC into more than just an event: into a global call for responsibility and hope.
