The City of Geneva holds the 4th Climate Week from 23 November to 6 December 2026. More than fifty free events, devoted this year to consumption, take place at various venues across the city.
The story
The first edition took place from 22 November to 3 December 2023, during the mayoral year of Alfonso Gomez, in charge of sustainable development. It stems from the “mobilisation” strand of the City’s Climate Strategy. Timed to coincide with COP28 and Green Friday, it offered around forty events on consumption. Franck Courchamp, Timothée Parrique, François Gemenne and Jean Jouzel took part.
In 2024, the second edition focused on planetary boundaries, water and textiles, with around fifty events. In 2025, the third linked climate, health and quality of life, over fourteen days. The 2026 edition returns to the theme of the first, consumption.
Who organises it
The City of Geneva organises Climate Week with many partners.
