Ceres at Climate Week NYC 2025: During 22–25 September 2025, Ceres will host and co-host a series of high-level events across New York City, with a mainstage presence at the Nest Climate Campus on 24 September. Under the banner of championing the clean economy, Ceres will spotlight how corporate action, responsible investment, and cross-sector collaboration are shaping the transition to a net-zero future.

Purpose and Objectives

Ceres’ programming is designed to emphasize the role of investors and companies in addressing climate risk, protecting the freedom to invest, and driving growth through the clean energy economy. The objective is to showcase how businesses can remain competitive while contributing to a just and sustainable transition, and to highlight practical pathways for aligning supply chains, finance, and innovation with long-term climate goals.

Key Activities

The agenda spans multiple sectors with events covering sustainable agriculture, low-carbon construction, automotive supply chain disclosure, nature-positive strategies, and transition capital. Highlights include the Nest Climate Campus keynote with Ceres CEO Mindy Lubber, a roundtable on transition capital featuring global asset owners, and workshops in partnership with Amazon and other leaders on decarbonizing building materials. Private convenings, such as the Chief Sustainability Officers gathering and the Corporate Electric Vehicle Alliance annual member dinner, will deepen peer learning and collaboration.

Significance

By anchoring events within Climate Week NYC, Ceres underscores its influence in shaping investor and corporate engagement with climate action. The programming is significant for its ability to convene decision-makers from finance, business, and policy at a time when climate disclosure, responsible investment, and systemic risk management are under heightened scrutiny.

Expected Outcomes

The series of events is expected to strengthen investor and corporate resolve to act on climate commitments, encourage adoption of sustainable supply chain and disclosure practices, and inspire new collaborations. Participants will leave with actionable strategies for advancing low-carbon solutions, greater clarity on material risks, and enhanced networks to scale climate action across industries.
