Climate Week NYC is one of the world's leading climate events, bringing together decision-makers from across finance, business and policy.
As food and agriculture account for nearly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, FAIRR will be on the ground to ensure food systems remain central to the climate conversation.
Throughout the week, FAIRR will connect with investor members, convene discussions, share insights, and contribute to key events focused on the risks and opportunities shaping the transition to a more resilient and sustainable food system.
