DC
Climate
Week
April 28 – May 2, 2025
DC Climate Week (DCCW) will establish Washington, D.C. as the epicenter of climate innovation by providing opportunities to engage with policymakers, fund climate solutions, and showcase cutting-edge technologies.
Through curated workshops, panels, exhibitions, and networking events, join us in transforming our nation's capital into a global model for climate action.
Why DC Climate Week?
Engage with policymakers.
As the center of U.S. politics, D.C. offers unparalleled opportunities to influence national climate policy.
Secure funding with global influence.
With access to international development banks like the IMF, IDB, and World Bank, DCCW can connect investors, financial institutions, and project developers.
Learn from world-renowned experts.
Explore proven climate solutions and breakthrough innovations from top sustainability experts like WWF, WRI, and Rewiring America.
Explore convenient event hubs.
Each day of DCCW takes place around a central hub, allowing you to spend more time engaging with events — all within a 5-10 minute walk
Enjoy the greenery.
D.C. has the highest percentage of parkland of any densely populated U.S. city and our tree canopy covers 38% of the city — more than the national average for urban areas.
Help make our capital a model for other cities.
DCCW will showcase local initiatives like Sustainable DC, the District of Columbia Wildlife Action Plan, and Climate Ready DC, positioning D.C. as a leader in climate action.
