Catalyzing action to address climate change

COP27 witnessed major breakthroughs for the world’s response to climate change. Chief among those included establishing disaster-relief loss and damage funds, transitioning from fossil fuels, and achieving net-zero through decarbonization technology and scalable energy solutions with a focus on the Global South. While these talks have proven fruitful, the time has come to start implementing these strategies and answering how to maintain shared commitments and what the next steps should look like toward achieving a greener, and more equitable, future. 

Join Foreign Policy as we convene prominent leaders, experts, and advocates from civil, economic, and environmental sectors for high-level, actionable discussions for our third annual Foreign Policy Climate Summit. Featuring a comprehensive agenda based on themes from COP27, we will explore how governments and organizations are making progress, identifying and implementing best practices, and navigating the road ahead to COP28.

Check out last year’s event for a glimpse of what’s in store for FP’s Climate Summit 2023.
