Exponential Roadmap
The Nest Campus

The challenge is no longer ambition. It is implementation. Turning commitments into real change, at speed and at scale.

Building on the global fossil-fuel phase-out initiative launched in Santa Marta, Colombia, we will bring on stage the leaders working to turn the goal into reality. Who is ready to move, and what will it really take to build an energy system without oil, coal and gas?

And what about energy security? Ongoing conflicts are disrupting supply routes and exposing the vulnerabilities of an energy system dependent on fuels transported across borders and through geopolitical chokepoints.

We’ll also look ahead to the UN climate summit COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, where the electrification of our energy systems will take center stage. We’ll explore the massive economic opportunities and the challenges we need to solve, from soaring electricity demand and AI to grids, efficiency and investment.

And don’t miss our special focus on climate communication, including the International launch of the Planetary Communications Handbook, presented live on stage in collaboration with Stockholm Resilience Centre.

Meet the people driving the transition. Hear what works. Discover what needs to happen next.

Join us on-site at the Nest Campus in New York City or online from anywhere in the world.

9:00 AM EDT / 15:00 CEST — Securing Our Future Energy System: From Fossil Failure to a Decade of Delivery

Global energy markets remain heavily dependent on a handful of producers and the uninterrupted flow of fossil commodities. Energy security and the energy transition are no longer separate conversations: moving beyond fossil dependency – fast, orderly, and at scale – solves both in one move.

Don’t miss this session where we take a closer look at how, through the lens of energy security, transport can transition by leveraging proven, scalable solutions available today, and what it takes to turn ambition into delivery, building a more secure and climate-friendly foundation for future growth and prosperity.

Business growth and emissions reductions are often framed as a trade-off. Yet a growing number of companies are proving otherwise.

What makes the jaws open, and how can companies widen them faster?

11:30 AM EDT / 17:30 CEST — Planetary Communications: International Launch

The science is clear. The urgency of the climate crisis is deepening. Seven of nine planetary boundaries have now been breached. Yet, the message doesn’t seem to reach decision-makers and communities worldwide. How can we bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and societal action? How can we communicate science more impactfully in a polarized world of mis- and disinformation? We will explore these questions together with leading scientists and communicators as we launch the Planetary Communications handbook.

The Planetary Communications Handbook is created by the Stockholm Resilience Center, following the same framework as the Planetary Boundaries.

On-demand — More Efficient Living: Interview with Tara Moonan, Electrolux Group

The climate crisis requires more efficient resource use, both for climate adaptation and for reducing emissions. But why should this be the responsibility of the individual?

In this interview, we talk to Electrolux Group about how they can take responsibility for more efficient use of water, energy, and materials in the home, without putting the weight on the individual.

How can we engage society and anchor it beyond governments? At Climate Week NYC, We Don’t Have Time brings together leading scientists, policymakers, and civil society organizations for an open discussion on what needs to happen to take this process to the next level.

As the climate headlines grow heavier, climate anxiety and distress increase. In 2022, 64% of people from the USA reported being worried about climate change, according to a study by Yale University. In parallel, we are seeing the emergence of climate cafés, safe and supportive environments in which people can share their concerns, fears and ideas related to the climate crisis. How can community gathering help reduce climate anxiety? In this session, Artist Sirintip gathers friends to explore the role that community spaces, such as climate cafés, can play.
