Climate Week NYC This Year Was More About Action Than Talk

Tens of thousands of people marched through Midtown Manhattan on Sunday, Sept. 17, calling on world leaders to usher in the end of fossil fuels ahead of the United Nations’ Climate Ambition Summit. The opening ceremony of Climate Week NYC took place simultaneously across town, kicking off a singularly industrious and gridlocked week in New York City. The official Climate Week calendar contained more than 400 events this year — and, for the uninitiated, there is now a 2-year-old free mobile app that helps participants browse the offerings and design a personal schedule.
