The Alliance at New York Climate Week 2026

The Alliance at New York Climate Week 2026

The Alliance at New York Climate Week 2026 - Logo NYC Climate Week is back in New York City from September 20-27, 2026. This year’s theme, Energy. Impact. Action., reflects the energy we bring to climate solutions, the impact we can achieve together, and the action needed to accelerate progress.

Organised by The Climate Group and taking place alongside the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), NYC Climate Week brings together decision-makers, business leaders, policymakers, investors, scientists, innovators, and civil society from around the world. It is a unique platform for connecting the ideas, partnerships, policies, and investments shaping a low-carbon economy and a more resilient and secure future. 

For the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, climate action is inseparable from transforming the food, land, and agricultural systems on which people and nature depend. 

At NYCW, we will bring science, innovation, and evidence from our global research portfolio to highlight solutions that connect climate action with tangible benefits for people and ecosystems, including climate-resilient crops, regenerative agriculture and landscapes, women-led climate adaptation, and low-emission livestock systems and forages. 

Explore more about Climate Week NYC – its mission, partners and global agenda – on the official website.
