Event description

As the global climate community gathers in New York this September, GFI will be on the ground at Climate Week NYC 2025—connecting with partners, sharing insights, and elevating the role of food system innovation in achieving climate goals.

Throughout the week, we’ll be participating in side events, panel discussions, and high-impact conversations centered around the intersection of food and climate. Our focus? Advancing alternative proteins as a climate solution that scales.

Stay tuned for updates on where we’ll be and how to connect with us during the week. We’re excited to be part of this critical moment for climate action—and to highlight how food system solutions can help drive meaningful change.
