• Location: Registration required for location

• Info: https://luma.com/7dgxro2w?tk=itDxHR 

• Hosts: Solutions House NYC 2026, FUTERRA, and Project Drawdown
  

• About: How much capital gets deployed matters; so does how precisely it gets deployed. Jonathan Foley and Lauren Gifford will introduce Drawdown Capital, a new initiative offering evidence-based guidance for philanthropists, investors, and their advisors, followed by a conversation with board chair Stephan Nicoleau on how attention to timing, location, and co-benefits turns good intentions into outsized impact.

(Yale Club) Superpollutants: Levers for Corporate Action

• Time: 3:50 pm—5:00 pm EDT 

• Location: The Yale Club, 50 Vanderbilt Ave, New York, NY 10017; Trumbull Room

• Info: https://climateweek.yale.edu/events/2026-09-22-superpollutants-levers-for-corporate-action

• Hosts: Yale University

  • Speakers include Claire Henly (Super Pollutant Action Alliance), James Kanoff (Terradot), Jamey Mulligan (Amazon), Anastasia O'Rourke (Carbon Containment Lab), and Jessica Seddon (Yale Jackson School)
    

• About: This session will explore how companies can become a major force in limiting near-term warming by tackling non-CO₂ "superpollutants," which are responsible for roughly half of today's warming. Focusing on three key corporate levers, namely value chain interventions, high-integrity use of carbon markets, and strategic policy engagement, panelists will highlight practical pathways for action that complement deep CO₂ decarbonization. Featuring Beyond Alliance's emerging Superpollutant Action Initiative and Roadmap, speakers will share concrete examples, investment opportunities, and governance approaches that unlock private-sector capital for high-impact superpollutant reductions.
  
  

The Next Climate Moonshot: Super Pollutants and the Race to Arrest Warming

• Time: 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM EDT

• Location: 417 5th Ave, New York, NY

• Info: https://luma.com/p3lbszig?pk=g-ORt26kFnD4lusle

• Hosts: Kelsey Miller, David Babson & Frances Tran
  

• About: Methane is one of the fastest major levers available to slow near-term warming. But if slowing warming is the outcome we care about, how do we measure the climate impact of methane action, and which solutions can make a meaningful difference? XPRIZE is exploring a broader climate moonshot focused on one of the most consequential targets for shifting the trajectory of global warming: super pollutants. A primary prize target is methane, responsible for roughly 30% of human-caused warming and widely recognized as the fastest major lever available to change the near-term warming trajectory.
  
  

Carbon Mapper: "From Finding to Fixing: Accelerating Action on Methane Super-Emitters"

• Time: 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM EDT  (Doors open 1:30 pm; program and networking 2:00 – 3:30 pm)

• Location: Well& by Durst x 151, 151 West 42nd Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY 10036

• Info: https://luma.com/y9xoq22c?pk=g-o8PGq8swzDUfpOH

• Host: Carbon Mapper
  

• About: Tackling methane emissions is not only one of the fastest ways in the near term to slow the rate of climate change, but it also bolsters energy security and ensures competitive advantages in global markets. At an unprecedented time of methane data transparency for the energy sector, a growing ecosystem of methane data initiatives is delivering more accessible global data on methane super-emitters, a highly actionable slice of the methane challenge. Satellite-based methane data is equipping governments and the private sector with the information they need to find and fix methane…

• Hosts: Light Hill Collaborative & Earthworks
  

• About: A cocktail hour at the Climate Week art gallery pop-up. The exhibit features original works by 12 notable visual artists that make unseen methane pollution visible from each artist's unique perspective, and serves as a satirical "award" given to significant polluters, based on satellite and on-the-ground thermography data, science-based health risk maps, and attribution. Throughout the gallery, you'll learn how the intersection of art, data, and science can drive action and lead to real-world emissions impact.
