COP29 concluded recently in Baku, Azerbaijan. With mixed results, the conference sought to mobilize and align private and public finance to support ambitious climate goals and find agreement on many other critical issues.

Biodiversity COP16 marked a turning point in global engagement, with over 23,000 participants, including more than 3,000 from the private sector, coming together in Colombia from 21 October to 1 November.

The urgency is clear: we must act now to bridge the ever-widening climate finance gap, estimated at $4 trillion annually.

Climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions impacts wildlife, economies and communities around the globe. It's time to act.

At COP29, the private sector has a pivotal opportunity to lead the charge in financing and driving sustainable climate solutions on a global scale.
