About us

Mission and vision

Enabling innovation for global impact

Our mission is to position Zurich as a climate innovation and resilience hub – while enabling organisations to turn sustainability into a competitive advantage. We believe that economic transformation is only possible through bold, collaborative and inclusive action that balances people, planet and profit.

Our vision is to shape a climate-positive, economically viable, and socially just future for Switzerland, Europe and beyond.

Who we are

Climate Week Zurich is an independent, non-profit association. We work in collaboration with leading organisations across sectors – including government bodies, NGOs, businesses and academic institutions.
