Cornell at Climate Week NYC 2026

Cornell researchers will return to New York City for Climate Week NYC 2026, joining global leaders from September 20-27 to advance bold, science-based solutions to the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges.

Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability and The 2030 Project: A Cornell Climate Initiative, and campus partners will once again host a series of conversations that examine the ideas and innovations shaping a more sustainable future. Programming will explore emerging opportunities and complex challenges—from finance for the future and AI for sustainability to climate modeling and geoengineering, nuclear energy, critical minerals, circularity, and other solutions at the intersection of science, technology, and policy.

Climate Week NYC provides a powerful platform to connect Cornell’s research with the people and institutions driving change. Throughout the week, Cornell faculty and experts engage with NGOs, corporations, government leaders, policymakers, alumni, and collaborators from around the world to forge partnerships, exchange ideas, and help translate research into real-world impact.

Additional event details and the full agenda will be announced in August. In the meantime, explore our Climate Week NYC 2025 programming  and our post-event blog.
