A small team with a bold dream launched Toronto Climate Week on May 27th 2025. The target was 20 events, 1500 attendees and one day of programming to understand the appetite.

Within four months, TOCW proved the market demand for a convening platform that unites climate, business, and policy under one citywide umbrella. Our inaugural event Oct 1 - 3rd 2025 saw 5000+ attendees across 105 events. The appetite is ravenous.

We are returning June 1 - 7 2026 and we’re looking to make it bigger, bolder and realize an even larger impact on our mission: make Toronto and Canada a global hub for climate action.
