The Climate Action Innovation Zone opened its doors on Wednesday 13th November for the first day of the Sustainable Innovation Forum. Nik Gowing, Chair of the Forum, officially started the discussions, inviting María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés, Co-Chair of the COP29 Azerbaijan International Advisory Committee, to deliver the welcome keynote address to the audience. María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés emphasised the need for this COP to provide countries with “the financial means to secure a just and inclusive transition to low carbon economies and societies,” stating, “this financial boost is especially important for developing countries to scale up their climate efforts and ambition. These countries are most affected by climate change, which is exacerbating their ongoing challenges.” This was followed by a packed two days of panel discussions, dialogues, keynotes, and interviews with climate leaders spanning business, policy, finance and the UN. #InnovationZone #COP29 #ClimateAction #SIF24
