Climate Week NYC is the largest annual climate event of its kind, bringing together hundreds of events and activities across the City, with leaders from business, science, tech, politics, academia, and civil society.
More than half of U.S. bird species are in decline, and climate change is a major threat. Birds are critical for a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, boosting biodiversity, serving as pollinators, dispersing seeds, and controlling pests. Without birds, our environment will suffer.

From September 21-29, 2024, join us for a full week of City-wide events hosted by both NYC Bird Alliance and our partners that will focus on the importance of biodiversity for a climate-resilient future.
