Climate Week Cook-Off
Thank you to everyone who helped make the 2026 Climate Week Cook-Off a huge success.
Together, we raised over $30,000 to support the work of creating a more sustainable Nashville!
The Climate Week Cook-Off is a zero-waste event that highlights sustainable cooking practices and food waste reduction. You can help us work to end food waste year-round through programs like Adopt-A-Cafeteria. Consider becoming a monthly donor to sustain this work.

Zero waste. High stakes.

The Climate Week Cook-Off, presented by Nissan, is the most delicious way to celebrate zero-waste cooking practices, local chefs, and the work of Urban Green Lab to create a more sustainable Nashville.
