The 2018 Global Climate Action Summit, hosted in San Francisco, USA between 10–14 September, will bring together state and local governments, business and citizens from around the world to showcase climate action taking place, thereby demonstrating how the tide has turned in the race against climate change and inspiring deeper national commitments in support of the Paris Agreement. [The Summit](http://globalclimateactionsummit.org/program/) will open with an astronaut’s view of our beautiful, fragile earth, produced for the Summit by National Geographic and narrated by actor-director Robert Redford before pivoting into details on the science of climate change and the risks humanity is facing from extreme weather events and the rising costs to economies, lives and livelihoods. Later in the day, a series of events and dialogues will celebrate the extraordinary achievements and wave of momentum underway since the adoption of the historic Paris climate change agreement of 2015. The second day of sessions will focus on crosscutting areas of climate action and climate impacts. This will highlight the activities of leading companies, cities, states and investors actively committing to climate action and racing toward a decarbonized future. [Schneider Electric](https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/about-us/sustainability/) is a key participant in this event with its contribution to all five topics: Healthy Energy Systems, Inclusive Economic Growth, Sustainable Communities, Land and Ocean Stewardship and Transformative Climate Investments. Senior representatives from the company will be participating in various plenaries, discussions and dialogues that demonstrate how the company is taking the lead on various topics ranging from efficiency in buildings to clean energy solutions. The Summit will showcase climate action around the world, along with bold new commitments, to give world leaders the confidence that they can go even further by 2020. Many partners are supporting the Summit, including The Climate Group; the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group; Business for Social Responsibility (BSR); CAN International; Ceres; WWF; and Mission 2020. **Want to learn more?** Learn more about Schneider Electric’s sustainability commitments: ### Additional Media #### Videos [ ![](/sites/default/files/styles/carousel_thumbnail_x2/public/videos/thumbnails/404726/thumbnail-404726_0004.png?h=7a6e80fd) ](/sites/default/files/videos/Leading_with_a_Sustainable_Strategy_0.mp4) [![Schneider Electric Logo](/sites/default/files/Clients/Screen_Shot_2020-02-13_at_4.11.24_PM.png)](/profiles/schneider-electric) ### More from Schneider Electric ###### [Schneider Electric Exceeds Its 2024 Sustainability Target and Approaches the End of Its Current Program](/news/schneider-electric-exceeds-its-2024-sustainability-target-and-approaches-end-its-current) Feb 20, 2025 2:00 PM ET ###### [Schneider Electric’s New Researches Forecast AI’s Impact on Energy Consumption](/news/schneider-electrics-new-researches-forecast-ais-impact-energy-consumption) Dec 5, 2024 2:15 PM ET ###### [Schneider Electric and Alstom Target Environmental Impact of Mobility Industry](/news/schneider-electric-and-alstom-target-environmental-impact-mobility-industry) Dec 3, 2024 10:30 AM ET ###### [Schneider Electric Foundation Wraps Up the Year With the Giving Season and Envisions the Next 25 Years To Come](/news/schneider-electric-foundation-wraps-year-giving-season-and-envisions-next-25-years-come) Nov 29, 2024 4:00 AM ET ###### [Schneider Electric Advances Environmental Impact Transparency in MEP by Sharing Product Data Through One Click LCA](/news/schneider-electric-advances-environmental-impact-transparency-mep-sharing-product-data-through) Nov 28, 2024 10:55 AM ET ###### [Tackling Energy Poverty: The Necessary Rise of Minigrids](/news/tackling-energy-poverty-necessary-rise-minigrids) Nov 26, 2024 11:00 AM ET ###### [Schneider's Sustainability Program Heads Full Speed Toward Its End-Year Targets With Strong Local Impact](/news/schneiders-sustainability-program-heads-full-speed-toward-its-end-year-targets-strong-local) Oct 30, 2024 2:00 PM ET ###### [How Corporate Power Can Preserve Biodiversity](/news/how-corporate-power-can-preserve-biodiversity) Oct 23, 2024 2:15 PM ET
