Summit in the Sky: Panel and Networking Lunch by GO2 Markets

Join GO2 Markets for an afternoon of insights and new connections at Summit in the Sky! An official Climate Week NYC 2026 event, hosted at One World Trade Center, this private NYC Climate Week event brings together senior energy, sustainability, and procurement leaders to explore two of the most pressing challenges in corporate decarbonization today. 


This year's Summit features two back-to-back panel discussions, each examining a different force reshaping how companies approach climate strategy, from the energy demands of data center growth to the accountability challenge of Scope 3 emissions. 


This event offers a unique opportunity to engage with sustainability and energy leaders across sectors and discover how your peers are navigating the next phase of corporate decarbonization. If you’re interested in joining us, please RSVP to the panel session(s) most relevant to you below. 

PANEL SESSION 1

The Scope 3 Paradox: Accountable Without Control

Scope 3 emissions represent the majority of most companies’ carbon footprint, often 75% or more. Yet they sit entirely outside a company’s direct operations, embedded in supplier factories, logistics networks, and customer behavior. Regulators, investors, and customers hold companies accountable for them today, not in ten years. 


This panel brings together senior leaders navigating that paradox in practice, building visibility into emissions they don’t own, exerting influence over supply chains they don’t control, and turning a compliance burden into a source of strategic advantage.

PANEL SESSION 2

Beyond the Trilemma: The Four Forces Reshaping Data Center Energy

Data centers are now among the largest and fastest-growing energy consumers in the United States. For years, the industry framed its energy challenge as a trilemma, balancing reliability, decarbonization, and cost. That framing no longer captures the full picture. A fourth force has emerged: community. 


This panel brings together senior voices from across the data center energy ecosystem to examine all four forces, where the tensions are sharpest, and what the decisions being made today mean for the decade ahead.
