The road to COP30 - private sector mobilization for climate action
This high-level, invitation-only event is designed to showcase and accelerate the private sector’s critical role in addressing climate change.
Taking place two weeks before COP30, alongside and in the context of the first Paris Climate and Nature Week and in parallel with the France-Brazil 2025 Season, the forum will bring together leading corporations, influential NGOs, and government representatives. Its central purpose is to move beyond pledges by highlighting tangible, innovative climate solutions already being implemented by businesses. Through collaborative dialogue, the event aims to foster new public-private partnerships and ensure that private sector contributions are aligned with COP30 goals.
