5 Programs On EU Climate Policy To Watch At Climate Week NYC 2024
The 2024 Climate Week NYC will happen from September 22 to 29 in New York City. It’s an annual event hosted by the Climate Group and runs alongside the United Nations General Assembly meeting. The event will bring together global leaders from politics, business, and science to push for changes to address climate change. These sessions will help shape future climate change policies and give business leaders insights into upcoming regulations.
The theme for the 2024 event is “It’s Time.” The schedule is divided into four main topics: The New Industrial Revolution; The Energy and Transportation Transition; Nature, Food Systems, and Health; and Leadership and Green Growth. Different organizations and businesses across the city will host these sessions.
With over 600 sessions happening both in person and online, it can be hard to plan. Here are five key programs focused on EU regulations that business leaders should pay attention to during Climate Week, plus one after the event.
