Forum Purpose & Mission

Time is running out. The climate crisis is upon us, and the risks are immense. But there is still hope. If we act immediately, we can limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees.

The Global Stocktake at COP28 is our chance to evaluate progress towards the Paris Agreement objectives. With an anticipated attendance at COP 28 of 80,000 delegates from government, the private sector and finance, it will be a pivotal moment for the global community. It’s time to synchronize actions and address the gaps. We can make a difference, but we must act now.

For 14 years, Climate Action has been uniting sustainability leaders from business, government, finance and civil society alongside the UN Climate Change negotiations, convening the largest multi-stakeholder event at COP: the Sustainable Innovation Forum.

Sustainable Innovation Forum

This year the forum will take place on 4-5 December, alongside COP28 in Dubai and will promote transformative innovation to help us go further, faster. The inclusive, collaborative sustainability conference will explore the actions we need to transition to a nature positive, net zero, just and equitable global economy.

Sustainable Innovation Forum 2023 offers leaders from across the climate and innovation ecosystem the opportunity to have a tangible impact at COP 28 by helping forge cross-sector partnerships, spotlighting effective business action, mobilising green finance and showcasing innovative solutions that will enable us to achieve our climate related Sustainable Development Goals.
