Climate Week: five newly added events you can still join
Mike Iacovella
September 17, 2026
This is the September 17 edition of the PIQUE daily briefing. Listings were checked against organizer pages on September 17; availability can change.
25 newly published · 5 public and open · 1 request to join
Since Tuesday’s briefing, 25 listings have been published in the PIQUE Climate Week guide. Five public options are still accepting registrations, and a sixth has an active request-to-join form. The range is the useful part: community solar, zero-emission shipping, environmental art, and two family-friendly ways to get outside.
“New” means newly published in PIQUE, not necessarily newly announced by the organizer. Registration belongs to each organizer, so check the host page before you head out.

Wednesday, September 23 · 9am–2pm · Chelsea
