Written by Phil Kehoe | Sep 3, 2025 11:00:00 PM

As the world faces mounting climate challenges, Climate Week NYC 2025 returns with renewed urgency and ambition. This year’s theme, “Power On,” calls for all of us to accelerate climate action, scale innovation, and energize global collaboration. From September 21–28, New York City will once again become the epicenter of climate leadership, bringing together heads of state, business pioneers, grassroots activists, and community changemakers. 

We’re proud to welcome our Partners supporting the 10 themes that make up our Climate Week NYC Event Program each powering progress in their own transformative ways.

Saint-Gobain

Built Environment Program Partner

Saint-Gobain joins as the Built Environment Program Partner, bringing decades of expertise in sustainable construction. Through its Sustainable Construction Observatory and the 2025 Sustainable Construction Barometer, Saint-Gobain is helping to redefine how we design, build, and retrofit our cities. With buildings and transport accounting for over 60% of global emissions, Saint-Gobain’s leadership in lightweight construction, green materials, and net-zero innovation is critical to transforming the built environment from a carbon source into a climate asset. 

Power on to accelerate sustainable construction worldwide. 

“Sustainably transforming the existing built environment and designing new buildings to the highest standards are two inseparable imperatives. In a context of growing housing needs, each construction or renovation project is an opportunity to drive sustainable construction by delivering resilient, energy-efficient, and circular solutions that also improve comfort and well-being for people, while reducing the sector’s environmental footprint through lower carbon emissions and responsible resource management.” - Benoit Bazin, Chairman and CEO, Saint-Gobain
