September 23-25, 2025 | Climate Week NYC
Swissnex returns to Climate Week NYC with the Planetary Embassy, a pop-up venue dedicated to international, interdisciplinary, and interspecies collaboration. Part of Swissnex’s global initiative to imagine a new Planetary Diplomacy, the Planetary Embassy at Climate Week will explore how we can work with the more-than-human world—including the often-overlooked ecosystems of our cities—to address urgent and interconnected planetary crises.
From September 23 to 25 at Mabou Mines in the East Village, the Planetary Embassy will host conversations, installations, film screenings, and more on these topics featuring contributions from Switzerland, New York, and beyond, with a focus on urban environments as a frontier for planetary imagination and action.
