DAY 2 | Adapt2Win X Nest
Join Adapt2Win and Youth Climate Collaborative for Day Two at The NEST Campus during Climate Week NYC, bringing together young climate leaders, athletes, business and tech leaders, creators, founders, funders and allies for a full day of conversation, collaboration and connection.
9:30–10:00 a.m. — What Time Is It? Basketball Time
Kick off the day with Youth Climate Collaborative and Adapt2Win as we introduce the partnership behind the day and why we’re coming together during Climate Week. Then, it’s time to get on the court.
10:00–11:30 a.m. — Play or Be Played: Youth, Business and the Future of AI x Sustainability
AI is reshaping how we learn, work and create, while raising urgent questions about energy, resources, equity and who gets to shape the future. This conversation brings young climate leaders together with business and technology leaders to explore both the opportunities and consequences of AI and what responsible innovation should look like in a changing climate.
12:00–2:00 p.m. — Voices for Adaptation: Aligning Digital Narratives and Resourcing Creators
Climate impacts are already part of daily life, but adaptation remains underrepresented in the stories we tell. Creators, platforms, thought leaders and campaigners will explore how stronger narratives can make adaptation more visible and actionable, while identifying what creators actually need to engage their audiences on climate and social impact.
2:30–4:00 p.m. — The Founders' Huddle: Strengthening and Resourcing the Youth Climate Movement
A working session for US youth climate founders to share what they’re building, identify common challenges and find concrete opportunities to collaborate. The session will also create a space for founders to speak directly with funders about what they need to strengthen, sustain and scale their work.
4:00–6:00 p.m. — Youth Climate Founders, Funders and Allies Mixer
Close out the day with an informal gathering of young climate founders, funders and allies. More than an opportunity to make introductions, the mixer is designed to build the relationships, trust and connections needed for a stronger and better-resourced youth climate movement.
