The Igarapé Institute will be actively engaged in New York during the Climate Week and the UN Summit of the Future, organizing and speaking at a series of high-level events. The Institute aims to advance its agendas on multilateralism, nature and climate finance and governance, connecting these discussions in New York with upcoming global milestones, including the G20 and COP30 in Brazil.

With three signature events and participation as speaker in at least four others, the Institute will contribute to key discussions on global governance, including reforms of the UN and International Financial Institutions (IFIs), financing for nature, sustainable development, and the regulation of digital spaces.
