AI and climate action event to be held at Climate Week NYC

“Cities are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, and the AI x City Climate Action Forum demonstrates the power of collaboration and developing innovative solutions that secure a healthy and resilient future for all,” said Andy Deacon, Global Covenant of Mayors co-managing director.

“By convening partners across science, technology, policy, and practice, we’re accelerating the measured, inclusive, and responsible development and deployment of AI solutions that can drive real change in urban communities.”

“Cities are living laboratories for climate progress, and we’re excited to see the world’s brightest minds collaborate and shape the future of urban resilience”

The programme will also feature presentations from the private sector and C40 Cities. Attendees will participate in dynamic roundtable discussions and networking sessions designed to foster new partnerships and drive AI-driven climate solutions for cities.

Vicki Cerullo, director of Urban Engagement at the New York Climate Exchange, added: “At the New York Climate Exchange, we’re building a new global hub for climate innovation and engagement. Cities are living laboratories for climate progress, and we’re excited to see the world’s brightest minds collaborate and shape the future of urban resilience. This gathering is about more than technology – it’s about empowering communities, challenging assumptions, and forging partnerships that turn climate ambition into real results.”
