Turning Ambition Into Action In New York
New York brings business, finance and government together around the capital, partnerships and sector action needed to scale sustainable growth.
Tomorrow, we welcome our global community to World Climate Summit: New York.
The day is built around a practical question: what needs to happen now to move from climate ambition to outcomes and impact?
Throughout the day, you will meet leaders across business, finance and government to mobilise capital, transform key sectors and create the market conditions for solutions to scale.
What to Expect Tomorrow
The programme will focus on three connected priorities:
Mobilising capital: How we bring together institutional, public and philanthropic capital to unlock investment and move solutions forward.
Transforming sectors: How collaboration across food, energy, mining and other critical sectors can address shared barriers and accelerate change at scale.
Building markets for solutions: How business, finance and government can work together to create the conditions for sustainable solutions to grow.
There is More to Announce
Tomorrow will also mark an important next step in WCF’s work beyond the Summit.
We will share a series of new collaborations and initiatives that strengthen how we turn convening into year-round action.
Our work with the Climate Champions Team will connect WCF’s sector coalitions across energy, food and cities with the Global Climate Action Agenda – linking sector-level action with the wider journey from the Global Stocktake towards 2028.
We are also strengthening the way we mobilise different pools of capital: philanthropic capital through new work with the EAC Foundation and Greenhaus; institutional capital through the Climate Investment Coalition; and public finance through the Investment Mobilisation Collaboration Alliance (IMCA).
And our sector coalition portfolio is growing. Alongside work across food, mining and energy, we are launching new work focused on cities and AI & technology - part of a planned rollout of 10 sector coalitions this year.
Together, these initiatives strengthen the platform behind our events: connecting capital mobilisation with sector transformation to deliver measurable outcomes.
Stay tuned for more from New York!
The Road Ahead
What starts in New York continues through the rest of our 2026 roadmap.
At CBD COP17 in Yerevan and COP31 in Antalya, we will continue our focus on capital mobilisation and sector transformation — with a bigger question in mind: how can we help sustainable growth markets scale across biodiversity and climate?
We are pleased to have a strong roadmap ahead and look forward to working with our partners across New York, Yerevan and Antalya to turn these opportunities into action.
