SF Climate Week: Summit, Fair, Panels

SF Climate Week is underway through April 26, with hundreds of climate events spread across San Francisco and the wider Bay Area. (sfclimateweek.org) The official site says more than 1,000 speakers are appearing across hundreds of events, and the lineup includes former Vice President Al Gore and climber Alex Honnold. (sfclimateweek.org) Gore is scheduled to speak at the Welcome Ceremony on April 21, and organizers say his remarks will focus on global climate action and innovation. (sfclimateweek.org) The week is not built around one convention hall. Organizers describe it as a decentralized gathering, with most events held in person around the Bay Area and some hybrid or virtual options. (sfclimateweek.org) That format turns the event into a citywide calendar rather than a single-ticket conference. The public schedule lists talks on wildfire, energy affordability, regenerative agriculture, and a Climate Solutions Summit hosted by Project Drawdown on April 23 at The Melody of San Francisco. (sfclimateweek.org, sfclimateweek.org) SF Climate Week is organized by Climatebase, the climate jobs platform that says the event is powered by hundreds of independent organizers, climate groups, and volunteers. (sfclimateweek.org) The event has also built a physical hub this year. SF Climate Week says 9Zero Climate Innovation Hub at 350 California Street will host more than two dozen events and expects thousands of attendees through the week. (sfclimateweek.org) Organizers say there is no fee to list an event on the official calendar, and they allow multiple events from the same organizer if they fit the climate and Bay Area criteria. (sfclimateweek.org) For anyone trying to navigate it, the main story is scale: a weeklong climate festival stitched together from panels, meetups, showcases, and summits, still adding up to one of the Bay Area’s biggest climate gatherings before it wraps on April 26.
