Concepting and curating a key event in the global sustainability calendar
We built a solid foundation for Climate Week NYC 2024 by supporting with the event’s Opening Ceremony and first two days, called The Hub Live, including the invite-only Executive Series.
Our approach:
We collaborated closely with Climate Group, establishing objectives and key messaging as well as finding and managing speakers for the event. The theme we developed, “We Can. We Will.”, emphasised the need for determination and collaboration in addressing climate change.
The Opening Ceremony featured notable speakers including Gavin Newsom, Sadiq Khan, John Carney and Simon Stiell. By identifying and briefing 200+ globally leading thinkers, speakers and influencers, we ensured the delivery of a diverse and impactful line-up.
Following on, The Hub Live addressed key climate change topics with speakers such as Jane Fonda and Juan Manuel Santos, providing a platform for 2,000+ business, policy, NGO and civil society leaders to discuss, debate and collaborate on driving climate action through 17 sessions across four core themes.

Impact:
Our strategic support contributed significantly to the success of Climate Week NYC 2023 – with 6,679 attendees from 96 countries and a media reach of 6.9 billion – and we’re delighted to have been invited back for 2024.
What they said:
“HN Communications adapted to our team’s way of working as they provided support for our Opening Ceremony and The Hub Live events, both of which were hugely important and influential in setting the tone for the remainder of Climate Week NYC 2023.
Helen and her team comfortably handled the intense levels of organisation involved, while also contributing significantly to the development of key themes and the overall strategic delivery of these cornerstone events, which saw some of the world’s most important business and political leaders combining their energies to address fundamental climate challenges presently faced by our society.
HN Communications proved irreplaceable, and we are already looking forward to welcoming them back to support our 2024 implementation.”
