The Summit provides a rare space for confronting climate risk without dilution or deferral, linking clear-eyed risk recognition to the level of preparedness, planning, and action required to protect people, communities, and the nation.

Our Aim
The Summit’s aim is to elevate the nation’s awareness to an accurate picture of the climate crisis, closing the gap between the current understanding and the actual realities we face.

Our Objectives
The Summit continuously assesses the need for a dedicated national focal point to ensure that urgency is effectively communicated. It defines the format and scope of this focal point, engages a wide range of voices to build broad support, and communicates findings and next steps to guide the nation toward an effective and urgent response.

In this way, the National Climate Emergency Summit serves as an ongoing catalyst for a fully informed and proactive national approach to the climate emergency.
