Virtual Climate Week Events that I'm Attending

Before the Cutting Board: Climate Week NYC 2024

Hey there,

I’ll be back our regularly scheduled programming next Monday, but in the meantime I wanted to share some quick resources on Climate Week. For those who are not aware, Climate Week NYC takes place annually alongside the convening of the United Nations General Assembly. The event gathers an array of stakeholders - policymakers, business leaders, activists, grassroots changemakers to name only a few - whose work is collectively anchored in bringing attention to the climate crisis and devising emissions reduction solutions.

In the last few years, the food programming at this event has grown significantly. For those like me who are having major ‘fomo’ or who are curious to learn more about the intersection of food and climate solutions, check out the list below for virtual food systems events that you can listen or watch to tap into Climate Week.
