Events
COP30 took place in Belém, Brazil over November 10–21, 2025. The need for bold, collective action has never been more urgent. At the global convening, we engaged with corporate leaders and global experts to exchange insights and push for real, scalable solutions—because shaping a sustainable future can’t wait. At this critical juncture, we remain committed to building on our momentum and strengthening collaboration across four key transition areas: energy transition, carbon mitigation and adaptation, food systems transformation, and climate finance and investing.

COP30: Top Themes
Energy Transition & Carbon Mitigation
The shift to cleaner energy is one of the most complex challenges of our time. Demand is rising, and the need for decarbonization is urgent. Achieving both energy security and access while reducing emissions will require bold investments and breakthrough technologies.
Climate Finance & Investing
Financing the net-zero transition demands more than commitment—it requires strategic action at scale. Mobilizing capital toward climate solutions, from clean energy to resilient infrastructure, is essential to turning ambition into impact.
Sustainable Food Systems
Our global food systems must evolve to feed a growing population while reducing environmental impact. From regenerative agriculture to supply chain innovation, the path forward requires rethinking how food is produced, distributed, and consumed.
