About the Event

Year after year, we are witnessing record temperatures, more heatwaves, and an increased number of extreme weather events such as cyclones, floods, droughts, and forest fires.

Coinciding with COP 27, this event hosted by Devex in partnership with Deloitte will showcase how governments and businesses can accelerate efforts towards a climate-neutral economy. We will hear from low- and middle-income countries, the private sector, and civil society on what is needed to implement climate adaptation plans for a more sustainable and low-carbon future.

Supporting a just transition to a climate-neutral economy will be key to not only delivering on climate commitments, but to ensuring no one is left behind. According to research by Deloitte, almost 79% of executives see the world at a tipping point for responding to climate change. Unchecked, climate change could cost the global economy as much as $178 trillion over the next 50 years, unless global leaders get real about a systemic net-zero transition.

Save your spot and join the online discussion on:

• How climate change is already impacting vulnerable communities.
• Lessons learned and common challenges for accelerating towards a climate-neutral economy.
• What is needed — including skills and access to funding — to implement climate adaptation plans for a just transition.
