Climate Week NYC

KPMG is proud to be a Silver Sponsor of Climate Week NYC

Climate Week NYC is the largest annual climate event of its kind, bringing together over 600 events and activities across the City of New York – in person, hybrid and online. Each year, business leaders, political change makers, local decision takers and civil society representatives of all ages and backgrounds, from all over the world, gather to drive the transition, speed up progress, and champion change that is already happening.

Climate Week NYC is hosted by Climate Group, an international non-profit whose purpose is to drive climate action, fast. Climate Group hosts the official program during the week that brings together the most senior international figures from business, government, civil society and the climate sector. This year, Climate Week NYC is being held from September 22-29, 2024. The event takes place every year in partnership with the United Nations General Assembly and is run in coordination with the United Nations and the City of New York.

At KPMG, we understand that a global, just transition to a low-carbon economy is not going to happen without the input and cooperation from businesses, governments, and communities across the world. This is why we are proud to be Silver Sponsors of Climate Week NYC.

Join us September 23 to see KPMG’s Mike Hayes speak on the panel "Time to triple - what will hold back the renewables vow"

Driving the Energy and Transport Transition: 
Time to triple – what will hold back the renewables vow?
Sept 23 11:00am – 12:00 pm

At COP28, 124 countries committed to tripling globally installed renewable capacity by 2030. Policy barriers stop to many of them from fully capitalising on their renewable resources. These barriers will hinder their international commitments, and net zero goals. This session will look at the gap between the right policies and realities on the ground. How will the pledge to triple renewables go from a pledge to reality.

Key questions to be addressed will include the following, including through audience Q&A:

• What are the gaps between the right policy and the reality on the ground in geographies such as China, India, Argentina, Taiwan?
• What examples of best practice exist from countries that have successfully pulled this through on the ground, what are the common themes and how can other countries learn from this?
• What collaboration is needed between business and policy makers to deliver on international commitments?

The Path to Net Zero Buildings Achieving Net Zero Buildings typically focuses on operational energy consumption. But is a building really net zero if the embodied carbon remains unaccounted for? What does it look like to achieve true net zero over a building’s lifetime?

KPMG's Tegan Keele, Principal, Advisory - Climate Data & Technology, will lead the Data & AI panel:

Transforming Buildings to Accelerate the Climate Action Buildings are becoming smarter. Leveraging data and artificial intelligence can significantly accelerate energy savings, reduce emissions, and increase the use of clean energy.
