Events

Join us for an insightful workshop where we delve into how diverse communities are spearheading the development of digital solutions to enhance coherence and interoperability in climate data accountability. This event is a platform for practitioners, innovators, and policymakers interested in digitally-enabled strategies that are transforming the landscape of climate accounting and accountability.

Driving Innovation in Climate Action Data: How Communities are Advancing Digital Emerging Technologies to Enhance Climate Action Alignment

You are cordially invited to close Climate Week NYC alongside leading founders, investors, policymakers, philanthropists, intrapreneurs and researchers who are scaling tomorrow's climate tech innovations. 

Explore overlaps and opportunities to strategically align across the industry. Discover new cross-sector partners, allies and supporters to scale your work. Please join us for a festive, invitation-only reception co-hosted by a coalition of climate tech industry ecosystem builders. Our purpose is to grow connectivity across critical groups of leaders fueling the next economy.

Hosted by OpenEarth, PlanA, GreenTech Alliance, PlanetA, Summit Impact, Project Astra, Ethic, Climate Vine, Work On Climate, Regeneration VC and many more! 

Cure is located at Park Ave South between 25th and 26th Street. Please check-in at the lobby and proceed to the rooftop 

ClimateTech+ActionLab Closing Reception

Cities and local governments face mounting pressures amidst various socioeconomic priorities, with climate and sustainability gaining prominence. Recent Global Covenant of Mayors (GCoM) research reveals that cities still lack adequate tools for compiling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventories and, even for those that have completed them and created plans, fewer than 25% progress into action implementation and monitoring.

Successful city climate action hinges on data and tools for informed decision-making, streamlined action, and reduced technical burden. GCoM's findings indicate that tool usage boosts implementation likelihood by 2.5 times.

Leveraging geospatial data, AI, and digital infrastructure, alongside coordination, can bridge local gaps and streamline action. Data-driven advances should also align with High-Level Expert Group on Net-Zero Commitments' recommendations, emphasizing data integrity, transparency, and accountability in cities' climate pledges.

Hosted by OpenEarth, GCoM and the World Geospatial Industry Council (WGIC), this event will showcase pioneering organizations propelling city climate action through data and AI, fostering partnerships that cater to local governments' needs for swift and expansive climate action.

You will arrive to Cure at 345 Park Ave S, New York, NY 10010. 

Be sure to know that Cure is located at Park Ave South between 25th and 26th Street. 

Please check-in at the lobby and proceed to the rooftop by taking the elevator to the rooftop floor. 

Please feel free to stay after the event to enjoy a complimentary lunch with your fellow attendees. 

10:45am  Welcome Statement & Keynote Address

11:00am  Discussion & Q&A : Data-driven innovations to boost city climate action

Highlighted Initiatives from Host Partners include:

 Will announce the development of a new open source digital application called CityCatalyst, which integrates global satellite datasets, local data providers and cutting-edge AI solutions to simplify the process for GHG emissions inventory creation and planning for cities and regions. Learn more at: 

Integrity Matters for Cities, States, and Regions

 report to provide fit-for-purpose recommendations on data accountability, transparency, and integrity. Will also announce a 25-city pilot for Data Portal for Cities. Learn more at: 

 Showcase how new satellite and geospatial data and tools can advance urban planning for city’s to manage climate mitigation and adaptation. Particularly, the Climate Trace initiative will share new development in Machine Learning for using satellite imagery to detect GHG emissions in real time. Learn more at: 

Climate Action Data 2.0 Accountability Showcase

Unlocking City Climate Action with Data and AI

The Climate Action Data 2.0 community has worked on digitally-enabling an independent Global Stocktake for the past two years. The Global Stocktake is  the collective monitoring exercise for the Paris Agreement, and it has moved from the technical phase to the political phase, leaving everyone (including the UNFCCC) thinking: how does climate action data lead to real accountability? 

In this session, we will highlight the work of the CAD2.0 workgroup, discuss the new UNFCCC Accountability Framework and host lightning talks on different climate data and infrastructure innovations that are contributing to accountability for monitoring progress of the Paris Agreement and beyond. 

Please feel free to arrive at 8:30am EST to enjoy a complimentary breakfast before convening at 9:00am EST. 

9:00am CAD2.0 Welcome Remarks, Presentation of CAD2.0 Video and CADalog
