Newsweek is honored to invite you to Pillars of the Green Transition Conference on September 25th at our headquarters in One World Trade Center, New York, as part of Climate Week 2024.

For the first time since the Paris Agreement in 2015 the international community took stock of the progress made to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The conclusion: progress has been slow across all areas of climate action. Governments and businesses must act quickly to make their pledges a reality.

During this year's Climate Week, Newsweek will take an in-depth look at pragmatic ways in which key economic sectors — energy, transportation, and industry — are investing and innovating to decrease emissions and achieve net zero.

Climate Week NYC takes place every year in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and is run in coordination with the United Nations and the City of New York.

Each year, business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, gather to drive the transition, speed up progress, and champion change that is already happening.

Businesses all over the world are innovating and collaborating in new ways to help the world get closer to net zero. Distinguished speakers from a variety of economic sectors will propose innovative ideas and strategies for shifting the balance in favor of a Better Planet.

Many of the technologies needed to reach our climate goals are already available. The challenge now is to accelerate deployment. What are the main barriers and how can we overcome them?

While billions of dollars have already been pledged to climate action, we are still short of the amount needed by businesses and nations to implement climate policies, and adapt to climate change. What can be done?
