Newsweek is honored to invite you to Pillars of the Green Transition Conference on September 22nd at our headquarters in One World Trade Center, New York, as part of Climate Week NYC 2026.

The physical systems that power modern economies are under strain from accelerating demand and weakening resilience.

Energy networks face a dual challenge: surging demand from electrification, AI and industrial expansion, alongside growing exposure to extreme weather and fuel disruption. Manufacturing relies on stable power, water and logistics networks that are increasingly fragile. Health systems manage heat stress, air pollution and climate-linked disease, while ageing populations increase demand. Agriculture contends with drought, soil degradation and shifting growing seasons that threaten yields and food security.

Growth in the coming decade will depend on strengthening and modernizing the foundations of the economy—making energy, agriculture, health and manufacturing more efficient, more resource-secure and more resilient to climate shocks. How should businesses and governments invest in core systems so they can withstand escalating climate disruption and meet rising demand?

Join us during Climate Week NYC to examine climate impacts and risk across core systems—energy, infrastructure, food and health—and the investment required to make them resilient.
