Climate Coffee NYC
Climate Coffee NYC is back from a slow summer, ready for full steam August 30th @ Café Flor!
Part of the global Climate Coffee series, it's a curated morning for people building, funding, and supporting climate solutions. No panels, no pitches, just real conversation over great coffee.
Some things on our mind...
Data centers & the grid are main characters. A third of H1'26 climate funding went to power for AI. Is this a durable tailwind for clean energy, or a backdoor for gas plants?
Carbon credits have a buyer problem. Microsoft, which made up +80% of voluntary CDR demand, recently paused purchases. How should we rethink the voluntary carbon market moving forward?
Wildfires took over this summer's headlines. Stratups are pulling real money but it's almost all detection and prevention. Suppression is still stuck at the demo stage. What is next in this critical climate vertical?
BONUS: Climate Week NYC is right around the corner (Sept 21–28)! Let's swap notes on how to make the most of it (it can get overwhelming).
Come share your take, and whatever else is on your mind in the climate space.
It’s free and open to the climate community - we simply ask that guests support our wonderful host by purchasing coffee or pastries :)
