Are you looking for an inspirational way to launch your 2026 UNGA & New York Climate Week? Join us on Sunday evening for our annual reception and be a part of the conversation.
This reception brings together Nordic and North American changemakers, global sustainability leaders for an evening of ideas, inspiration, and informal exchange. The event is hosted by UN Global Compact Finland and Miltton, one of the Nordics top consultancies. It is also supported by the UN Global Compact Country Networks of Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Canada.
Expect: Short, sharp perspectives from leaders shaping the new sustainability—and navigating what it means for business, impact, and global competitiveness. Think bold ideas, fresh perspectives, meaningful matchmaking, and conversations that challenge the status quo. Whether you're driving change, exploring new partnerships, or simply curious about where sustainability is heading next, this is your room—and a great way to kick off the UN General Assembly and New York Climate Week.
