United Nations High-level week hosted 21-27 September in New York

The impacts of climate change are accelerating, but with urgent and transformative action, it is still possible to limit global average temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, averting the most disastrous consequences. This Summit will demonstrate solutions by governments, the private sector and civil society to reduce emissions and build climate resilience and adaptation.

A series of summits and high-level meetings will gather world leaders to boost action on climate change and accelerate progress on sustainable development, aimed at securing healthy, peaceful and prosperous lives for all:

• 21 September – Youth Climate Summit;
• 23 September – Climate Action Summit and the High-level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage; 
• 24 and 25 September – Sustainable Development Goals Summit;
• 26 September – High-level Dialogue on Financing for Development; and
• 27 September – Small Island Developing States.
