New York City hosts the 16th edition of Climate Week (22-29 September) under the slogan It's time. As in previous editions, the event is presented as a platform for connection and dissemination, focusing on the fulfilment of climate goals and the need to increase the commitments made by companies, governments and organizations.
New York Climate Week is held from 22 to 29 September 2024.
The Iberdrola Group, a world leader in the fight against climate change, is part of the New York Climate Week 2024 (held from 22 to 29 September). A global opportunity to join efforts to accelerate climate action and assess the progress of this commitment ahead of COP 29, to be held in Baku from 11 November to 22 November 2024.
Sustainable living, environmental justice and the need for innovation in energy companies are all part of the current debate to drive climate action. That’s why Climate Week NYC has become a relevant platform to bring together leaders from the world's most influential businesses, governments and climate organisations, along with the United Nations General Assembly and the City of New York, to work towards an international response to the current environmental crises.
Iberdrola, at the forefront of climate action
Iberdrola has invested 120 billion euros in renewable energies, electricity grids and storage over the last two decades. A pioneering commitment to clean energy that has placed it in a leading position in terms of climate action, with CO2 emissions that are already six times lower than those of its European competitors.
But the group's climate commitment does not end there: Iberdrola has pledged to invest an additional 150 billion euros by 2030 to continue to lead the energy transition facing the global economy. Its goal is to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe by 2030, 20 years before the horizon set by the Old Continent, and to be a carbon neutral company globally by 2040.
With its support for initiatives such as New York Climate Week, Iberdrola stresses the need to act urgently to keep global warming below 1.5 ºC and mitigate the effects of climate change on the planet. This will only be possible by joining efforts of all agents from all geographies and sectors to multiply the effectiveness of individual commitments and find new solutions.
In this respect, the electricity industry plays a key role. Renewable energies, smart grids and the electrification of energy uses will be the key vectors for the decarbonization of the economy. And Iberdrola group is working to remain at the forefront of this green transformation.
