About this episode
With Climate Week NYC just around the corner, this episode of the ESG Insider podcast explores what to expect from a week that will convene thousands of stakeholders for hundreds of events across New York City Sept. 22-29. The ESG Insider podcast will be on the ground covering many of these events, starting with the Opening Ceremony hosted by Climate Group. This is the nonprofit that organizes Climate Week in partnership with the UN General Assembly and the City of New York. The theme of Climate Week this year is "It's Time," which speaks to the sense of urgency to address climate change as more people globally feel the effects of a warming world. During Climate Week, ESG Insider will be an official podcast partner of The Nest Climate Campus, a three-day event taking place Sept. 24-26 at New York City's Javits Center. The campus brings together companies, nonprofits, government, academia and the community at large. In today's episode, we talk with Britton Jones, the Founder and CEO of Next Events Media Group, a purpose-driven events organization that produces the Nest Climate Campus. Britton discusses what to expect from Climate Week, what the topics of focus will be and what it will take to make the week a success. He also talks about how to prevent Climate Week conversations from becoming an echo chamber where sustainability professionals are preaching to the choir. "We want to make sure that we can meet people no matter where they are in their climate journey," Britton says. "This is most definitely an all-hands-on-deck type of situation." S&P Global Sustainable1 is hosting a co-located event at The Nest Climate Campus on Sept. 25.
