Driving the day
As world leaders descend on Dubai to kick off COP28, industry, investors, cities and regions, and civil society are driving real-economy solutions to reduce emissions, restore nature, and protect climate-vulnerable communities. The UN Climate Change High-Level Champions are helping to bring ambition, alignment, coherence and increased collaboration to these efforts through science-aligned pathways to 2030. The solutions, expertise, innovation and insights of these real economy actors should give confidence to world leaders to be ambitious in their political commitments made during COP28 World Climate Action Summit, knowing they have strong partners to support in their implementation.
