According to the COP28 agreement, energy efficiency efforts must double by 2030, to give us a chance to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

With cities accounting for 80% of the global energy consumption and more than 70% of global carbon emissions, improving energy efficiency in heating and cooling systems, implementing sector coupling, and forming groundbreaking partnerships can make a huge difference.

In this session, experts from across multiple industries and cities will explore opportunities and barriers to accelerate sustainable cities to reach net zero.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) calculates that investments in clean energy need to triple to $4.5 trillion annually by 2030, while the adaptation finance gap still stands at $194-366 billion per year. We have this money, but we are currently investing it in problems instead of solutions. The world spent $7 trillion subsidizing fossil fuels in 2022 alone. So how do we ensure that financial flows go to climate actions and a just transition? In this session, we will explore new initiatives supporting levies on financial transactions and a wealth tax on billionaires to raise funding for climate action. Together with experts, we will also delve into other mechanisms that could help shape the future of climate finance, such as Voluntary Carbon Markets, equity funds, and banks supporting a fossil fuel phase-out.

Transparency and climate reporting are vital parts of the Paris Agreement. But many companies are struggling to find ways to measure and report their emissions in a manageable way. In this session, we will show how data transparency and climate reporting can help facilitate businesses' climate transition.

We have this money, but we are currently investing it in problems instead of solutions. The world spent $7 trillion subsidizing fossil fuels in 2022 alone. At the same time, pension funds and other institutional investors hold investments in fossil fuels totaling $3.03 trillion. So, how can we shift these investments in time and at scale?

Earlier this spring, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and The Weather Company, took an unprecedented step to disrupt global television airwaves with a special weather forecast, marking the launch of the groundbreaking Weather Kids campaign.

The Weather Kids campaign, where children took over the weather report on over 400 networks in more than 80 countries, presents the weather forecast of 2050 and calls for urgent climate action. This initiative aims to heighten awareness of the devastating impacts of the climate emergency and illustrate the stark cost of inaction for future generations.

Join us for an engaging discussion on the conception, execution, and preliminary impact of this ambitious campaign. Hear firsthand from the creators and executing partners as they share insights into the successful strategies that resulted in significant global engagement. Learn how this innovative approach mobilized audiences in over 80 countries to take meaningful climate action for the sake of all future generations.
