- New York Climate Week 2026 will host a Fossil Free Zones breakfast strategy session on 24 September at Fordham University's Lincoln Center Campus, running from 08:15 to 09:45.
- Amazon, Congo Basin, and Coral Triangle Fossil Free Zones strategies will be aligned during the session in preparation for COP31.
- Fossil Free Zones advocates aim to transition the initiative from community-led demands into formalised, low-cost policy tools.
- National governments are the intended adopters, with the session targeting integration of these tools into energy transition and deforestation roadmaps.
Why it matters: The session targets a specific governance gap: converting grassroots Fossil Free Zones campaigns into formalised, low-cost policy instruments that national governments can integrate into energy transition and deforestation roadmaps, with COP31 set as the alignment deadline for Amazon, Congo Basin, and Coral Triangle efforts.
