ABB at Climate Week NYC 2025

2024 was the hottest year ever recorded, reaching approximately 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels¹. This milestone serves as a warning that we must dramatically accelerate climate action over the next decade. Most of the technologies needed for the energy transition already exist. According to the IEA, clean energy transitions and energy security are inextricably linked, and diversification, efficiency and flexibility within the energy sector are "basic conditions for both energy security and accelerating energy transitions."²

The priority is to speed up their deployment at scale. At Climate Week NYC 2025, a world-leading global climate event we will be highlighting the opportunities ABB sees in addressing the climate challenge and how, in collaboration with our customers, we are contributing to accelerating the energy transition.

Our climate action response

With our technologies we help all industries, from utilities and manufacturing to buildings and transport, decarbonize, supporting the transition. These include solutions that integrate low-carbon energy sources into the power grid, drive electrification, improve energy efficiency and decarbonize our customers’ operations in diverse sectors. Our overarching commitment focuses on helping industries operate leaner and cleaner by delivering technologies that simultaneously improve productivity, reduce emissions, and strengthen energy resilience.

How we contribute to the energy transition

We support the energy transition in the following ways:

"Significant work remains to make the energy transition real. Electrifying everything and improving energy efficiency are powerful ways to reduce emissions right now. At ABB, we are working with customers, governments and local communities to deliver these solutions. We ask policymakers to provide clear, predictable framework conditions that enable businesses to innovate, develop and deploy the technologies needed for a low-carbon society.’’
