🌍 Closing Reflections from COP29 in Baku 🌱 As COP29 comes to a close, it’s clear that the private sector’s pivotal role in advancing global climate action continues to grow. In Baku, significant investments and collaborative efforts have pushed forward innovative solutions, with key developments shaping the path ahead: 1️⃣Investor Advocacy for Policy: Over 600 investors emphasized the urgent need for clear, actionable global climate policies to unlock private sector investment at scale. 2️⃣ Innovative Financing Mechanisms: Discussions highlighted the critical role of blended finance and public-private partnerships in mobilizing resources for sustainable development and climate resilience. We’re also proud to acknowledge our partner Timo Bey (貝天慕) from 8 Impact, who represented us at COP29 with an impactful session titled “A Drop of Hope: Impact Investing in Water Solutions for Central Asia.” 💧 Their inspiring commitment to sustainable water solutions for the Turkic states aligns closely with the broader themes of innovation and partnership that defined this year's conference. Furthermore, Timo was able to discuss our collaborative initiative, which will be unveiled by beginning of next year. This project promises significant economic, social, and societal benefits for all our joint impact endeavors. With cutting-edge digital capabilities and robust international expertise, we aim to achieve internationally relevant impact projects that can be effectively visualized and quantified. The energy and dedication at COP29 signal a shared momentum. Together—with bold ideas, resilient partnerships, and innovative funding—we are building a sustainable future for all. 🌟 #COP29 #ClimateAction #SustainableDevelopment #PartnershipsForImpact

GenZero is excited to anchor the Carbon Markets Day (12 – 13 Nov) at COP SG Pavilion as we convene global leaders to discuss the critical role of #carbonmarkets in catalysing financing for greater #climate action and the pertinent crunch issues surrounding its scale up today. Progress on Article 6 will take centre stage at COP29 Azerbaijan this year, and its success could help to rally greater support for the voluntary carbon markets. This year, can #COP29 reverse the tide and deliver consensus on the operationalisation of #Article6? Where did COP28 leave us, and has there been meaningful developments on Article 6 since then? How can Article 6 co-exist with, or even strengthen, the voluntary carbon market? 📢 On 12 November, #GenZero will be bringing together industry leaders at the COP SG Pavilion for an engaging discussion on strategies to overcome the COP28 deadlock and achieve a meaningful breakthrough on Article 6 this year. Moderated by Anshari Rahman, Policy & Analytics Director at GenZero, he will be joined by Benedict Chia, Director-General (Climate Change) at the National Climate Change Secretariat, Singapore, Federico Di Credico, Interim CEO at Climate Action Data Trust, Dirk Forrister, President and CEO at IETA, and Mandy Rambharos, CEO at Verra. ❗ For more information on the #GenZero programming at #COP29, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gVuTZvSZ If you'll be in #Baku and would be keen to arrange a meeting with the #GenZeroTeam - drop us a note at: https://lnkd.in/eaC4rvUp #decarbonisation #sustainability #COP29Azerbaijan

🌍 Live from the ground at COP29 🌍 Sharing learnings and radical collaboration sits at the heart of COP29. Climate Action’s Sustainable Innovation Forum is facilitating rigorous conversations here in Baku between investors, business leaders and policymakers with the intention of breaking down complex challenges into simple, actionable steps. The dialogue is very much centred where it needs to be - around the ‘how’ and the ‘what’. How do we turn sustainability into real and commercially viable outcomes? How do we execute game-changing projects that move the needle? What’s working well that can be replicated elsewhere? What’s the commercial outcome? These practical questions are tough but necessary as we implement the technical interventions needed to drive transformative change. Let’s keep asking the hard questions and exploring the economic feasibility of what we need to achieve impactful action. Looking forward to another productive day ahead.

We’re getting ready for COP29! We Mean Business Coalition is hosting a pavilion in the Blue Zone to bring an ambitious and coordinated business voice to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. 🌳 At COP29 we must continue to build on the progress of the UAE Consensus and accelerate the transition from the fossil fuel era to a clean-energy, nature-positive future. At this year’s summit, world governments will negotiate a crucial post-2025 climate finance deal. A strong agreement is key to building trust and encouraging private investment in the transition. Meanwhile, governments are preparing the new national climate plans – nationally-determined contributions, (#NDCs) – that they have agreed to communicate by early 2025. 🎥 You can join us in person and online, take a look at our schedule here: https://lnkd.in/er9x4mK6 🏷️ Ceres, Inc.

🌍 Key Highlights from COP29: Progress in Baku, Azerbaijan 🌱 by Terralis Fund (www.terralisfund.pt). The 2024 UN Climate Summit (COP29) delivered several significant outcomes, marking a pivotal moment in global climate action. 1️⃣ Advances in Carbon Markets:   COP29 finalized international standards for carbon trading, paving the way for efficient and accountable global carbon markets. These mechanisms aim to channel resources to developing nations, potentially saving up to $250 billion annually in climate implementation costs. This breakthrough resolves years of negotiation gridlock. 2️⃣ Climate Finance and Loss & Damage Fund:   With the operationalization of the Loss & Damage Fund, pledges of $700 million are a start, but much more is needed to address the projected $580 billion in annual climate damages by 2030. Additional commitments were urged to ensure financial flows to vulnerable nations by 2025. 3️⃣ New Climate Commitments (NDCs):   Countries are preparing stronger 2030 and 2035 emissions reduction targets, with several major emitters using COP29 as a platform to lead. The updated targets aim to align global efforts with the 1.5°C warming threshold. 4️⃣ Enhanced Adaptation Finance:   Discussions centered on closing the adaptation finance gap, which requires $187–$359 billion annually. Developed countries are on track to meet their $40 billion pledge by 2025, but COP29 emphasized increasing flexible funding for resilience in vulnerable regions. 5️⃣ Focus on Methane and Global Stocktake:   Collaborative dialogues involving the U.S., China, and other key stakeholders targeted methane reduction strategies. The Global Stocktake provided a roadmap for scaling mitigation and adaptation measures globally. These decisions represent a vital step forward, but implementation and further commitments will be critical. Let’s build on this momentum to secure a sustainable, resilient future for all. 💚  #COP29 #Innovation #Sustainability #TerralisFund
