In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we sit down with Climate Group CEO Helen Clarkson on the sidelines of the Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony Sept. 22.

Climate Group is the nonprofit that organizes Climate Week NYC in partnership with the UN General Assembly and the City of New York. In the interview, Helen explains the global to-do list Climate Group released at the start of Climate Week NYC, outlining concrete actions governments and businesses can take in the next year to address the emissions gap.

She also explains how Climate Week NYC sets the stage for COP29, the UN's annual climate change conference that Azerbaijan will host in November 2024 — and why this gathering is shaping up to be heavily focused on climate finance.
