Programme - Coming Soon
For the past 13 years, World Climate Summit - The Investment COP, has successfully enabled cross-sector collaboration between key stakeholders, alongside the UN climate negotiations. During this time, the Summit has become a vital platform for connecting markets with policies, to flatten the climate curve. For more than a decade, we have developed the strongest top-level decision-maker network in the world focused on climate change, including ongoing business with highlevel organisations.
