Planet Aid Touches Down in NYC for Climate Week
Climate Week in New York City, also known as Climate Week NYC, is a pivotal time for organizations like Planet Aid to engage in meaningful conversations, share insights, and learn. Over 600 organizations host events in New York City during the week, welcoming several diverse global leaders to discuss the most effective strategies to tackle environmental challenges.
Planet Aid’s Office of Global Partnerships team, led by Director Marie Lichtenberg will attend several significant events, including the UN Summit of the Future, the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, and the 14th Concordia Annual Summit. It is critical for Planet Aid’s Office of Global Partnerships to gain insight and share information with our international partners to expand funding sources, resources, and collaborations that will drive progress and foster multilateral solutions toward a sustainable future.
UN Summit of the Future
Held on September 22-23, the UN Summit of the Future is a cornerstone event this Climate Week. The summit aims to produce an inter-governmentally negotiated, action-oriented Pact for the Future. This pact will include chapters on Sustainable Development and Financing for Development, International Peace and Security, Science, Technology and Innovation, Digital Cooperation, Youth and Future Generations, and Transforming Global Governance.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the summit on September 23, emphasizing the importance of multilateral solutions for global challenges. For Planet Aid, attending this summit is an invaluable opportunity to understand and contribute to international efforts aimed at creating a sustainable and secure future.

Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) community will reconvene on September 23-24 for its 2024 Annual Meeting in New York City. Timed to coincide with the U.N. General Assembly, CGI brings together leaders from business, government, and civil society to drive progress on key issues such as climate resilience, inclusive economic growth and recovery, health equity, the full participation of women and girls, and humanitarian response efforts.
For Planet Aid, participating in the CGI Annual Meeting is a chance to explore innovative solutions and build partnerships that can enhance our impact on climate resilience and sustainable development.
The 14th Concordia Annual Summit: Navigating a New Era
"Navigating a New Era," is the theme for the 2024 Concordia Annual Summit. The event is happening from September 23-25 and will address the critical juncture the world faces today. With geopolitical fragmentation, shifting socioeconomic developments, and immense technological advancements, the summit aims to provide a forum for the private sector to collaborate with other stakeholders.
The event's goal is to equip attendees with the tools and partnerships needed to address today's unique challenges and opportunities. For Planet Aid, the Concordia Annual Summit is an essential platform to engage with diverse perspectives and foster collaborations that can drive meaningful change.
