🌍 Day 4 at COP29: A Global Stage for Energy Transition and Collaboration 🎥 Wrapping up an inspiring Day 4 of COP29, where the energy sector's brightest minds, leaders, and innovators came together to forge pathways toward a sustainable future. This landmark event exemplifies the coexistence of diverse nations, ethnicities, and cultures—each presenting their unique perspectives and strategies to combat climate change. 🌱✨ 👥 Leaders at the Forefront: Geoffrey Pyatt, Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources, USA Lina Mendoni, Minister of Culture, Greece Stefanos Gkikas, Deputy Minister of MINISTRY OF MARITIME AFFAIRS & INSULAR POLICY, Greece. 📢 A standout moment was the launch of #EmpowerMed Women, a transformative initiative for gender equality in energy, spearheaded by Alexandra Sdoukou, Greece's Deputy Minister of Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy and Energy, and Enas Shabana, an advocate for empowering women in the energy sector. This initiative reinforced the importance of inclusivity in the path toward a sustainable future. 📒The day's agenda was packed with forward-thinking discussions on some of the most pressing topics in energy transition. Participants delved into demand response and grid flexibility, exploring innovative solutions for smarter grids in collaboration with Deloitte. They examined next-generation energy solutions and green technologies, presented in partnership with Hellenic Association For Energy Economics (HAEE), and debated the critical role of technological evolution in addressing the energy dual challenge and ensuring a just transition for all. 🪧Geopolitics and environmental strategies took center stage as leaders analyzed the complex dynamics of Southeast Europe, an effort supported by the Delphi Economic Forum. The transformation of the gas industry in alignment with energy transition goals, spearheaded by East Mediterranean Gas Forum - EMGF, offered insights into how traditional sectors are adapting to the clean energy imperative. Discussions also looked ahead to the EU Clean Industrial Deal, mapping out its potential impact on Europe’s green future. Clean energy advancements in transportation—spanning aviation, maritime, and land transport—further underscored the multifaceted nature of the energy transition. 🫶More than just a conference, COP29 exemplified the power of collective action and shared purpose. It was a forum where diverse approaches to energy transition converged, providing a platform for global leaders to present their strategies and commitments to combating climate change.

No thanks. I appreciate your earnest call on public sector action on climate change but how about we see equal or more skin in the game from your coalition members, We Mean Business Coalition? Society, let’s let the business coalition show it means business by they advocating for goverments to apply new and higher taxes on businesses prorated based on emissions and also advocate for performance-based penalties for not meeting annual carbon emission reduction targets. Once you do this then we’ll talk about using your employees and consumers tax dollars to fund your business’ ESG reporting and SBTi Commitments ie mitigate your reputation, legal and operational risks. Cheers!
As heads of state prepare to meet at the #G20Summit in Rio de Janeiro, they have an opportunity to build on the progress from COP28 and galvanize policy negotiations at COP29 in Baku. In a new statement coordinated by We Mean Business Coalition and #Mission2025, networks connecting more than 38,000 businesses around the world deliver a powerful message to G20 leaders. We urge them to meet the moment and deliver the policies for an accelerated shift from fossil fuels to a clean energy future, to unlock the essential private sector investment needed through a COP29 outcome that commits governments to: ✔️ “Publish the plans”: Submit NDCs that are 1.5°C aligned, sector-specific and backed up by clear plans and investment policies, ✔️ “Move the money”: Catalyze finance to meet the needs of developing economies through financial reform and a high-ambition finance goal in Baku. 🔗 Read the full statement here: https://lnkd.in/eHRpbK9D and see the list of signatories including ⬇️ Matthew Phillips, Danielly Mello Freire, Nathaniel Keohane, BSR, CDP, Ceres, Inc., Corporate Leaders Groups, Climate Group, WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development, The B Team, Ester Baiget, Jesper Brodin, Patricia Espinosa Cantellano, Roberto Marques, Supriya Sen, Peter Bakker, Aron Cramer, Helen Clarkson, Faustine Delasalle, Marina Freitas Grossi, Mindy Lubber, Sherry Madera, Sanda Ojiambo, Leah Seligmann, Sarah Schwimmer, Eliot Whittington, Amanda Leland, Gonzalo Saenz de Miera, Andrew Petersen, and Marcene Mitchell. #Mission2025 #FossilToClean #WMBC #COP29 #G20

▶ A Call to Action for G20 Leaders ◀ As COP29 enters its second week and the G20 leaders convene in Rio de Janeiro, we in Climate Leadership Coalition—representing Nordic forerunner businesses—stand alongside thousands of global companies committed to reducing emissions, accelerating the clean energy transition, and building resilient economies. The world’s largest economies, represented by the G20, account for 77% of global emissions and 85% of the global economy. This gives the G20 an unparalleled opportunity—and responsibility—to lead climate action. In our joint Letter to G20 Leaders, we emphasize three key actions: 1️⃣ Submit High-Ambition NDCs: Commit to Nationally Determined Contributions that are 1.5°C aligned, backed by sector-specific plans and policies. 2️⃣ Catalyze Climate Finance: Deliver ambitious financing goals, including unlocking essential private sector investment and ensuring robust support for developing countries. 3️⃣ Accelerate the Energy Transition: Define a clear timeline for phasing out unabated fossil fuels and scaling up clean energy and energy efficiency. Business is Ready to Act: The private sector is already investing in clean energy solutions and resilient supply chains. Now, we call on global leaders to match this ambition with policies that drive real-world change. With global instability and climate challenges mounting, the G20 has the opportunity to unite and lead. Let’s rise above the challenges and deliver a just response to the climate crisis. Read our full letter to the G20 leaders below.

As we enter a critical second week of negotiations at #COP29, we know that governments have to agree on an ambitious new finance goal in order to meet their commitments already set out in the Paris Agreement and the Global Stocktake. To G20 Leaders: 38,000+ businesses and society leaders are ready to transform the global economy. To do this, we have two asks: ➡ Move the money: Agree a high-ambition finance goal at COP29 which catalyzes the finance required to meet the needs of developing economies. ➡ Publish the plans: Submit national climate plans by February that are 1.5°C-aligned, sector-specific and backed by investment positive policies that can turbocharge sustainable growth. It’s not game over, it’s game on. #Mission2025 www.mission2025.world

CMAI is excited to announce that Mr. Rohit Kumar will be a panelist in the upcoming discussion on "Renewable Energy as a Catalyst for Sustainable Community Development" organized by the Arctic Pavilion at COP29 on 16th November. Renewable energy plays a pivotal role in the global transition to a low-carbon economy. As a clean, sustainable source of power, it significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels, making it a key contributor to the fight against climate change. Moreover, renewable energy projects can generate carbon credits, offering a market-based incentive for organizations to offset their emissions. By unlocking climate finance and enhancing the role of carbon credits, CMAI is working to ensure that carbon markets provide real, measurable climate solutions—empowering communities and fostering collaboration for a sustainable future. Join us as we continue to represent the voice of the industry and contribute to the effective development of carbon markets! #BuildingCarbonMarketsTogether 🔗 Contact us: secretary@cma-india.in Rohit Kumar Bikash Sahu Ayushi Gaur Sruthy Jacob Mohit Gautam Upansh Srivastava Cataleya Han Fahad Haider Melnichenko Foundation BRICS Youth Energy Agency sawsan ElAwady Rinret Best Sherif Elrefaey Arsenii Kirgizov-Barskii Vikrant Srivastava #COP29 #CMAI #CarbonMarkets #ClimateFinance #Article6 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #GlobalSouth #CarbonCredits #UNFCCC #COP29 #GlobalCooperation #CarbonMarkets #Article6 #ParisAgreemen #GlobalSouth #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ClimateLeadership #GreenTransition #IndustryVoice #FutureOfCarbonMarkets #InclusiveClimateAction t #VCM #VCMI #ICVCM #CCTS #ETS #Offset #SustainableDevelopment #PMO #MOP #MOEFCC #BEE #MOCI #MOPNG #CPCB #EPR

A Global Just Green Transition at COP29 💚⚖️ Today, Anne Højer Simonsen from Danish Industry (DI) hosted a panel debate at COP29 on how we can make the global green transition more inclusive to women and young people. We wish to extend our heartfelt thank you to the speakers whose contributions and insights can help drive a just green transition 🙏 - Sostina Takure, Coordinator, DanChurch Aid Zimbabwe - Sigrid Friis, Member of the European Parliament, Renew Europe - Sigurd Seindal Krabbe, UN Youth Delegate - Szilvia Lehel, Global Thematic Lead, Feminist Action for Climate Justice (FACJ), UN Women - Peter Vangsbo, Associate Director of Climate and Sustainability Services, Arup - @Ayshka Najib, Feminist Action for Climate Justice (FACJ) Youth Leader Here are three key takeaways from the debate: 📝 Inclusive Policy Making: It is crucial to involve both gender and youth perspectives in policy-making processes to ensure that the green transition benefits all segments of society. Inclusivity leads to more robust and sustainable solutions. 📚 Empowerment Through Education: Education and capacity building are fundamental in empowering women and youth to take active roles in climate action. Investing in education will create future leaders who are equipped to drive positive change. 🌏 Global Solidarity: A fair green transition requires global solidarity, particularly with vulnerable countries. Collaborative efforts and international support are essential to address the disproportionate impacts of climate change and promote equity. DI will take these perspectives with us as we work with our partners from the public, private, and civil society sectors on advancing climate action. #COP29 #COP29Azerbaijan #JustGreenTransition #GenderEquality #YouthEmpowerment #ClimateAction
