The United Nations secretary general, the president of the World Bank, and UN Special Envoy for Climate Action Michael Bloomberg all lined up alongside French President Emmanuel Macron this week to host the second annual One Planet Summit, with the goal of mobilizing financing to support climate action.

The summit was part of Climate Week NYC, timed to coincide with the annual UN General Assembly.

“We are not here just to speak but to be accountable,” Macron said. “Here we will see what is working and what is not working. What we need is action.”
