Let’s be real: if you care about climate, this is where you’re going to want to be.
The Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) is proud (and honestly, thrilled) to be the Official Hub for Toronto Climate Week (TOCW).
TOCW transforms the city into a global stage for climate solutions by uniting Canada’s climate ecosystem and welcoming international partners to participate in a week of cross-sector collaboration. As a decentralized event platform, TOCW convenes climate innovators, industry leaders, creators, researchers, policymakers, and community groups to catalyze innovation, investment, and public engagement. The week positions Toronto as a leading climate hub and connects Canada’s climate efforts with the world.
From June 1–7, CSI becomes a thriving hub of connection, collaboration, and possibility. This is where conversations turn into partnerships, and where ideas start to move.
We’ve been a home for climate action in Toronto for years. Now we’re turning up the volume.
Want in? Here’s how:
Host Your Event at CSI
If you’re planning to host an event during Toronto Climate Week, this is your moment to plug into the centre of it all.
Panels, workshops, meetups, weird and wonderful gatherings – if it’s about climate, sustainability, or the future we’re trying to build, we want it here.
Why CSI?
- Be in the heart of the action at TOCW’s Official Hub
- Get amplified across our network of 100,000+ changemakers, organizations, and partners (book by April 30)
- Host in a stunning brick-and-beam space at 192 Spadina Ave. with a team that makes it all easy (including bar, setup, and cleanup)
We’ve got space for intimate 30-person sessions to 220-person gatherings, but spots are going fast.

Work From the Hub During Climate Week
Between events, you need a place to land. This is it.
We’re opening our ground floor lounge as a shared workspace. A kind of climate commons for the week.
Take a meeting. Answer emails. Start an impromptu conversation with someone you just met at a panel. Because let’s be honest, the best stuff happens between the scheduled events.
RSVP to save your spot and drop in between:
Tuesday, June 1 – Thursday, June 4
9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Join us for Climate Coffee (TOCW Edition) ☕
If you want to actually meet the people behind the work, this is the room.
Climate Coffee has quickly become one of the places where Toronto’s climate ecosystem connects for real — not just panels, but actual conversations.
Join us on the morning of Thursday, June 4 @ 8:30 – 10:00 AM.
- Meet collaborators
- Find your people
- Or just don’t drink your coffee alone during a very full week
Save the Date: The Afterglow, TOCW’s Official Celebration – June 5
We’re thrilled to host the official Toronto Climate Week celebration, The Afterglow, on Friday, June 5, from 6 – 10 PM.
Toronto Climate Week deserves a celebration worthy of the people shaping the future, and The Afterglow is exactly that. This is where leaders, founders, creatives, and climate champions come together to exhale, connect, and celebrate the momentum built throughout the week.
Expect a vibrant, high-energy evening featuring music, culture, and community. And yes, there will be dancing.
The Afterglow is presented by the Centre for Social Innovation, Daisley for Good, and Climate Communications Alliance, in partnership with Toronto Climate Week.
Sponsor a Signature Event
