Climate Week NYC is a platform for all voices working on climate action hosted annually by Climate Group in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and the City of New York. As a long-time pillar of the conservation community, Audubon is rising to meet the urgency of this moment through the power of birds because what’s good for birds is good for people and the planet. Building upon decades of accomplishments, a strong scientific backbone, and a non-partisan approach, Audubon is focused on delivering tangible outcomes for birds and people at the scale of the challenges we face.
This year, Climate Week NYC (September 20-27, 2026) will focus on the energy, the impact, and the action that we drive together. As a proud sponsor, Audubon will engage in discussions emphasizing a collaborative, science-based approach to advancing practical solutions to the interconnected challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss.
At Climate Week, Audubon will contribute to discussions on responsible clean energy and transmission planning, including co-hosting a panel with Clean Air Task Force, “Innovative Alternative Financing Models to Promote Transmission,” at the office of Crowell & Moring LLP, and hosting a closed-door discussion with leading industry, conservation, and government leaders about the future of permitting.
Audubon will also advance conversations around natural climate solutions, co-hosting and speaking at the plenary session “From Risk to Resilience: Using Nature Intelligence to Guide Investment” at Nature4Climate’s Nature Hub, and co-hosting a roundtable, “Creating a Forest Policy Agenda for 2028 and Beyond,” at the Doris Duke Foundation Treehouse. Additional programs in collaboration with partners will highlight the connections between birds, people, and a healthy planet.
