About
From mobilizing trillions in capital to reinventing industries, global leaders fighting climate change are no longer withholding action. They have inspired generations, proving that we can tackle this crisis as long as we act and respond together. From our TIME100 Climate list to our annual TIME Earth Awards, TIME’s commitment to enabling climate action is some of the most consequential work we do. Continuing this mission, we will host our first-ever TIME100 Climate Leadership Forum on September 23. Here, we will bring together the world’s most influential people at the forefront of the climate revolution —including scientists, advocates, policymakers, and business leaders—to spotlight solutions and encourage action, harnessing the power of science, technology, business, and more. Join us at this invitation-only event during Climate Week NYC to connect with top industry leaders, learn from extraordinary change-makers, and get inspired to build a better future.
