NYC Climate Week 2026

September 20–23, 2026 New York City

Members of Congress and project leaders will be in New York City during Climate Week to advance the Thriving Economy Project — a comprehensive menu of policy solutions focused on creating jobs, strengthening American competitiveness, delivering affordable and reliable energy, and building durable climate solutions.

Across the week, Members will join business leaders, policymakers, advocates, academics, and other partners at public and closed-door events throughout the city. These conversations will bring the project’s ideas into the rooms where economic and climate decisions are being made — and build the partnerships needed to turn them into action.
