New York Climate Week 2025

We at the Iberdrola Group took an active part in Climate Week NYC 2025 (held from 21 to 28 September), in line with our pioneering strategy based on energy autonomy, security of supply, competitiveness and care for the environment, which we have upheld for more than 20 years. This event is a global opportunity to join forces to accelerate climate action and assess progress in the run-up to COP30 (Brazil, 10-21 November 2025).

Sustainable living, environmental justice and the need for innovation in energy companies are part of the current debate to drive climate action. That is why Climate Week NYC has become an important platform for bringing together the world's most influential business, government and climate organisation leaders, together with the United Nations General Assembly and the City of New York, to provide an international response to the current environmental, social, economic and security crises.

Conclusions from New York Climate Week 2025

Climate Week NYC 2025 concluded with an important call for multilateral action and collaboration to accelerate climate efforts and the commitments made to limit the rise in global temperature. Many of this year’s discussions focused on national climate commitments, or NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions), which include emission-reduction targets for 2035.

The event also served as an opportunity to showcase competitive solutions in clean-energy generation technologies and to support the development of infrastructure that ensures energy security, driven by the private sector.

In this context, Iberdrola signed the Green Grids Climate Finance Principles promoted by Utilities for Net Zero Alliance (UNEZA), aimed at fostering the financing of sustainable electricity infrastructure, particularly in emerging markets. What’s more, the company supports the declaration of the Ibero-American Business Network for Green Growth, which seeks to triple renewable capacity in Ibero-America by 2030.

During Climate Week, Iberdrola also presented its reports on responsible commitment, both direct and indirect, focused on three strategic areas:

Iberdrola cares for the environment: a benchmark in electricity grids and clean energy

At Iberdrola, we have invested €120 billion in renewable energies, electricity grids and storage over the last two decades. This pioneering commitment to clean energy has placed us in a leading position in terms of climate action, with CO₂ emissions that are already six times lower than those of its European competitors.

But the Group's climate commitment does not end there: at Iberdrola, we have committed to investing a further €150 billion by 2030 to continue spearheading the energy model change facing the global economy. Our goal is to achieve carbon neutrality in Europe by 2030, 20 years ahead of the deadline set by the Old Continent, and to be a carbon-neutral company globally by 2040.

By supporting initiatives such as Climate Week NYC, Iberdrola is reaffirming its commitment to caring for the environment, promoting the deployment of clean energy and essential electricity grids, and driving the electrification of energy uses to promote a shift towards decarbonisation. This goal will only be possible by joining forces with all stakeholders across all regions and sectors to multiply the effectiveness of individual commitments and find new solutions.
