Over a four-day summit in New York, from September 24-27, Yale scholars and other thought leaders in a wide range of fields came together to bring to the foreground solutions to confront the climate crisis.
Hosted at the Yale Club in New York City, the ’Yale @ Climate Week‘ gathering coincided with Climate Week NYC and events surrounding the opening of the 79th session of UN General Assembly. Yale’s summit was organized by Yale Planetary Solutions, with support from the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies. Throughout the summit, participants spoke to the importance of expanding and scaling up climate solutions. While climate change presents acute challenges, panelists emphasized the potential for collaboration, development, and capacity building around the world.
