Global Compact Side Event
Business & Climate Ambition
The “Business & Climate Ambition” side event of the Global Compact – Brazil Network will take place in parallel with the main COP29 activities, on November 13th, at the Rotunda Jazz Club, located at The Landmark Baku. The event will bring together business leaders for a unique moment of global connections and discussions on the progress of the Brazilian private sector on the climate agenda.
Throughout the event, the need to increase ambition to ensure that business strategies are aligned with science and the goal of keeping the Earth’s average temperature increase below 1.5°C will be discussed. Additionally, ways to enable climate change mitigation and adaptation actions through climate finance will be addressed to ensure a just transition, leaving no one behind. Actions are already underway, reaffirming the business community’s commitment to the Global Climate Agenda.
This side event is part of the Global Compact Program Roadmap to COP30, an initiative of the Global Compact – Brazil Network to mobilize the business sector in collaborative projects focused on mitigation, adaptation, and means of implementation for climate change. By calling on companies to engage in concrete collective projects, the approach aims to build long-lasting and meaningful cross-cutting results, creating a more resilient and sustainable future.
