World Climate Summit – NY Edition
World Climate Summit has been at the forefront of catalysing change for the past 15 years, as the most influential C level forum cutting across the business, finance, government, and civil society to create the low-carbon economy in parallel with the annual international climate negotiations. Building on the foundations of the Paris Agreement and the Marrakech Partnership, this early edition of the World Climate Summit hosted during New York Climate Week will convene global climate leaders to build momentum and set the stage for COP29 in Baku.
By focusing our efforts on the essential pillars of technology and innovation, finance and investments, and policy and reform, this convening aims to strengthen collaborative efforts towards the upcoming climate negotiations in Baku while accelerating action in achieving the 2030 transition goals and a net-zero world by 2050.
World Climate Summit – The New York Edition will:
– Explore the driving forces for attaining the 2030 transition goals, including emerging innovations and technologies, financial strategies, and regulatory policies. – Define roadmaps and concrete action plans for businesses and governments, being essential for a rapid and just transition, in line with net-zero targets by 2050 or earlier.
– Hear successful case studies resulting from the implementation of the IRA, highlighting how it has positively impacted sectors and how these successes contribute to overall climate action goals
– Create a platform for global climate leaders to share insights, strategies, and best practices, thereby building momentum for impactful action at COP29. Key stakeholders consist of carefully selected C-suite level profiles comprising top asset owners and asset managers, business leaders and developers, policymakers, and heads of government, thought leaders and influential representatives of non-governmental organisations.
Over the day, a curated set of 300+ in-person attendees and a digital audience of 500+ will be joining. The Summit offers dynamic and interactive formats. The programme, offering in-person and digital opportunities, consists of expert panel discussions, insightful keynotes from high-level frontrunners and pioneers on best practices, and dynamic one-to-one fireside chats. The Summit also features thought-leader interviews, and other networking opportunities.
