Climate Week draws tens of thousands of people to New York City each year who are eager to share, debate, and drive investment in innovative climate-related ideas.
The Exchange is transforming Governors Island into the most important new hub for Climate Week engagement. Drawing on expertise from our partners and other leading global voices, we will be hosting more than 20 events that showcase cutting-edge climate tech, compare the most effective urban resilience strategies, and unlock climate financing at scale.

Climate Week NYC
Governors Island is the place to be during Climate Week if you’re looking to move beyond the same old panel discussions. Our goal is to broaden the number and type of people who enjoy and engage in Climate Week. From nature-focused films to fireside chats with leading authors to climate trivia, we’re doing Climate Week differently.

Finance for the Future: Unlocking NYC’s Building Decarbonization
Decarbonizing buildings is crucial for the city’s future, and for this transformation to take place at scale, financing is key. Private investment, public funding, and innovative financing mechanisms must be aligned to drive these projects forward. This event will delve into the key financing strategies required to support the decarbonization of New York City’s buildings. Key topics will include financing decarbonization of buildings, as well as an overview of established and emerging infrastructure funds focused on climate resilience playing an increasingly important role in financing the transition to a low carbon built environment.
