WEF to accelerate multistakeholder climate action at COP28

The World Economic Forum (WEF) will advance multistakeholder initiatives for better climate solutions at COP28 focusing on priority areas such as industry decarbonisation & net zero, energy transition, food, nature and innovative finance.

For this, WEF will convene heads of state, ministers, business leaders, philanthropy and civil society to advance climate action.

COP28 takes place from November 30 to December 12, 2023 in Dubai, UAE, and serves as an urgent call to action to the global climate crisis.

Holistic approach

“We have to take a holistic approach to address the environment crisis, with people at the heart of the agenda, focusing on restoring and protecting nature ecosystems, strengthening community resilience in the face of water stresses and extreme temperatures, while stopping the pollution of our land, sea and water,” said Gim Huay Neo, Managing Director, WEF.

“Fostering a sense of inter-dependence, mutual trust and support as well as active collaboration between governments, the private sector, philanthropy, civil society and communities is needed to build a more harmonious relationship among communities and with the planet. COP28 is an opportunity for WEF to provide a platform for multistakeholders to take stock on progress, enhance partnership efforts and explore new ideas and solutions
