Climate Week NYC 2011 was held during September 19-26 in New York City with some of the world’s leading businesses and governments when it comes to green initiatives in attendance. For this third annual conference, widely publicized events were held throughout the week promoting the economic benefits of tackling climate change especially through public-private partnerships. Most notably, The Clean Revolution Campaign was launched at the opening ceremony creating a big splash in the media with top names like Michael Bloomberg and Tony Blair presenting. This three year initiative is being spearheaded by The Climate Group with the support of the United Nations and World Bank to promote the continued expansion of clean energy, clean technologies, innovative design and new business practices around the globe. The Clean Revolution “aims to inspire, catalyze and enable a group of the world’s most influential business, government and thought-leaders to take transformational action on climate change, creating a tipping point for the low carbon economy.” Not only will clean revolutionaries be charged with the task of reducing greenhouse gas emissions causing the systemic issue of global warming but they will also be the ones to catalyze sustained economic growth into the future. Will you be joining me in pioneering this movement? For your viewing pleasure, check out the video montage of the opening ceremony put together by Hub Culture below…
