NY Climate Tech: Climate Month Guide!
100+ events this month, our next meetups (with Climatebase & WeWork), machine learning, fashion, skyscrapers, and more!
What a month! We’ve gathered 136 events so far, and there are still more out there to add. It’s all pretty overwhelming, so we’re turning to you for help! Have something you’re excited for? Recommend it here, and we’ll include it in the newsletter next week!
In the meantime, we have a few recommendations of our own. On Sunday the 18th, we’re holding our monthly meetup in collaboration with Climatebase! Then on Tuesday the 20th, we’re planning on a coworking day with WeWork at their Brooklyn Navy Yard location — we’ll have a lunch & learn, lighting talks, and of course a place to work and connect with others in the climate community. Later that night, we’ll be at the Women & Climate Celebration. On Wednesday and Thursday, we’ll swing by the Javits Center for the Nest Summit one of Climate Week’s anchor events. Then on Friday we’ll head to Chelsea for the Marketplace of the Future. And of course, we’ll be trying to do much more and sending out more recommendations soon!
A Few Places We’ll Be:
Sunday, Sep 18: NY Climate Tech x Climatebase September Meetup
Tuesday, Sep 20: NY Climate Tech x WeWork Coworking Day
Tuesday, Sep 20: Women & Climate Celebration
Wednesday, Sep 21: Nest Summit
Friday, Sep 23: Marketplace of the Future
✨ Something New! Barometer.eco ✨
Hi all, Alec here 👋! I’m cooking up a new project: the Barometer Fellowship.
It’s a cohort-based program that’s 10-weeks long for working professionals in all roles who want to bring sustainability to their current company.
We’re still getting off the ground, but I wanted to share it here first — I’d love your feedback and support as we grow. If you’re interested in joining, being a mentor, or learning more, reach out!
Hot Take: Coming Soon!
Sonam’s out West and ready to report on the heatwaves up and down the Pacific Coast. She’ll be sending out a hot take later this week, in the meantime, follow her on Twitter for updates!
This Week
Just because Climate Week is coming doesn’t mean there’s nothing this week! On Thursday swing by the Columbia Innovation Hub for a session on Machine Learning & Climate Change, head to the Upper East for an XR led event on Fashion and Climate, or stop by the UN for a summit on Digital Innovation and Youth Climate Action. Start Friday off with a sustainable fashion market in Times Square, then head to Skylight in Chelsea for Future Meets Party. On Saturday, join up with artist Nancy Nowacek to imagine future relationships to flooding and water in Gowanus, take kids to the skyscraper museum to learn about sustainable buildings, or head over to SoHo for a sustainable fashion showcase.

We know all of you are cooking up great events across New York that highlight the latest and greatest in our collective effort to save our city - and our planet! 🌍 We would love to spread the word. Please share any event details and we'll add them to the list.
Volunteer
We're excited to grow the Climate Tech community in cities across the globe - starting right here in our hometown of New York! 🗽 What started as an 8-person mid-pandemic outdoor dinner has since morphed into a 1,500+ strong and ever-growing group of rockstars trying to change the world. We're looking for volunteers to help us expand our programming into a full roster of community-wide meetups, subject-specific events, mentorship programs, site visits, and more. We aim to be a community resource - built for and by our community. Share your thoughts and we look forward to working with you!
Hi - could anyone send me the link to the list of last years climate week events. I can not seem to find it in this post of any other. I would really appreciate the help. Thank you
