Columbia Fashion, Energy, and Climate Summit
Fashion and the Climate Future
Monday, September 21, 2026 | 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Joseph D. Jamail Lecture Hall, Pulitzer Hall, Columbia University
Building on two sold-out Climate Week NY events - Renewing Fashion: Clean Energy and Circular Economy in 2024 and Transforming Fashion’s Footprint: Innovation and Business in 2025 - the inaugural full-day Columbia Fashion, Energy, and Climate Summit expands the conversation across the systems shaping fashion’s climate future.
The Columbia Fashion, Energy, and Climate Summit will bring together leaders from fashion, energy, climate, technology, business, academia, policy, and design. The theme of this year's program is Fashion and the Climate Future, with discussions focused on examining how energy systems, materials, markets, finance, regulation, trade, and culture are transforming the industry, and what it will take to build a more resilient, competitive, circular, and climate-conscious fashion system.
The day-long event is co-hosted by the Fashion, Energy, and Climate Network at Columbia Climate School and the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs.
