SF Climate Week’s Yerba Buena Gardens Day runs Thursday, April 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with talks, panels, workshops, and exhibitors gathered in one downtown venue. (sfclimateweek.org) The event is listed as the “SF Climate Week Flagship Energy Summit” on the 2026 program, with free admission on the public calendar and registration handled through the week’s event platform. (sfcw.climate-week.org) SF Climate Week says its 2026 program features “1000+ speakers” across “hundreds of events,” and the official FAQ says the week runs April 18 through April 26 across the Bay Area. (sfclimateweek.org, explore.sfclimateweek.org) That scale helps explain why Yerba Buena Gardens matters on Thursday: the week is decentralized, with most events spread across San Francisco and the wider region, so a full-day downtown gathering gives attendees one place to move between sessions and exhibitors. (explore.sfclimateweek.org, yerbabuena.org) Yerba Buena Gardens has already served as one of the week’s public-facing hubs this year. On Saturday, April 18, the site hosted the official welcome day, a Green Business Expo and Earth Day Festival organized with the San Francisco Green Business Program, Yerba Buena Gardens Conservancy, and Climatebase. (sfclimateweek.org, sfenvironment.org) The week itself is organized around climate, environmental, and sustainability programming, and the FAQ says qualifying events must take place in person or hybrid in the Bay Area during the April 16-26 window. (explore.sfclimateweek.org) Climatebase, which the FAQ identifies as the main organizer, says it promotes the calendar through more than 120,000 newsletter subscribers and 70,000 LinkedIn followers, a sign of how the event has grown from a niche convening into a large regional schedule. (explore.sfclimateweek.org) For Thursday’s Yerba Buena Gardens program, the practical details are simple: the sessions start at 11:30 a.m., end at 6:30 p.m., and registration and schedule updates are posted through the official SF Climate Week site.
