Climate Week NYC 2024 highlighted seven key messages focused on the need for more inclusive and transparent climate action. One of the main points was the importance of tailoring climate solutions to the specific needs of local communities, particularly indigenous peoples, who must have a more prominent role in climate policy discussions. Also discussed was the growing threat of misinformation and how false narratives, such as those critical of renewable energy, are affecting public perception. Science has advanced in climate attribution, allowing communities to better understand how climate change is intensifying extreme weather events.

Another highlight was the growing commitment of companies to transparently report their progress toward climate goals, showing how climate action can drive corporate success. It also highlighted the need for continuous and long-term funding for indigenous and local communities to take the lead in implementing sustainable solutions. This event underscored the urgency of global cooperation to meet the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
