SF Climate Week at Yerba Buena Gardens

SF Climate Week’s main Thursday program is running today at Yerba Buena Gardens, with a free Energy Summit scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (sfclimateweek.org) The event listing names Lyla Warren, SF Climate Week, and Morgan Campbell as hosts for the Flagship Energy Summit on Thursday, April 23, 2026. The public venue is Yerba Buena Gardens at 750 Howard Street in downtown San Francisco. (sfclimateweek.org) (yerbabuena.org) SF Climate Week describes its 2026 program as a citywide run of events from April 18 through April 26 focused on climate innovation, policy, startups, and community action. The Thursday summit sits inside that larger week of Bay Area programming rather than as a stand-alone conference. (sfclimateweek.org) (sfcw.climate-week.org) Yerba Buena Gardens has become one of the week’s visible public-facing sites. SF Climate Week opened its official Welcome Day there on Saturday, April 18, with a Green Business Expo and Earth Day Festival organized with the San Francisco Environment Department, the Yerba Buena Gardens Conservancy, and Climatebase. (sfcw.climate-week.org) (sfenvironment.org) That setup puts a climate event in a downtown park that is free to enter, open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and surrounded by museums, hotels, and transit-heavy blocks south of Market Street. Yerba Buena Gardens says the site is ADA compliant and includes public restrooms open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (yerbabuenagardens.org 1) (yerbabuenagardens.org 2) The broader SF Climate Week calendar mixes public festivals with investor, startup, and policy events across San Francisco and the wider Bay Area. On the same Thursday schedule, the public calendar also lists separate events including “The Circular Vineyard” from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m., showing how attendees are choosing among overlapping programs rather than following one central track. (sfclimateweek.org) For anyone deciding whether to go, the practical point is simple: the Thursday flagship program is free, it is scheduled for the middle of the day through early evening, and the live agenda is being maintained on the SF Climate Week site.
