San Francisco Climate Week is underway through April 26, with more than 650 events spread across the city and Bay Area. (sfclimateweek.org) Organizers say the 2026 program began on Saturday, April 18, and is expected to draw more than 60,000 attendees and more than 1,000 speakers. Climatebase hosts the week, which it describes as an open, decentralized gathering rather than a single conference. (morningstar.com) The speaker list includes former Vice President Al Gore, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and climber Alex Honnold. The official calendar shows events in San Francisco, Oakland and Stanford, with topics ranging from clean energy and transportation to food systems, finance and biodiversity. (morningstar.com) (sfclimateweek.org) That format means there is no single main stage. The public schedule includes policy talks, startup gatherings, volunteer cleanups, art events and paid conferences, including a three-day “Accelerating the Transition” program at University of California Law San Francisco and a closing party at the California Academy of Sciences on April 23. (climateweeknetwork.org) The week has grown fast. Climatebase said last year’s edition drew more than 25,000 attendees across 650-plus events, and this year’s projected turnout is more than double that figure. (stories.climatebase.org) (morningstar.com) The event mix also shows how climate week has become a networking market as much as a civic festival. The official listings include free community events such as habitat restoration and neighborhood cleanups alongside ticketed investor, technology and industry sessions. (luma.com) By Thursday, April 23, the live calendar still showed same-day events across the city, including “Recharge with Tom Steyer” in San Francisco and “Turning the Tide: Stories of Climate Solutions from Grist” at Manny’s in the Mission District. The schedule also listed food, wine and circular economy programming in Golden Gate Heights later that afternoon. (sfclimateweek.org) (climateweeknetwork.org) The week runs through Saturday, April 26, with organizers continuing to add registrations and events as it unfolds. The result is less a single summit than a citywide calendar that turns climate policy, business and volunteer work into a nine-day program. (morningstar.com) (sfclimateweek.org)
