This drop-in session will bring together practitioners in the ocean finance community to discuss key actions and to-dos to increase the investment pipeline in a Sustainable Ocean Economy that is good for nature, climate and people

This ambitious goal requires immediate and coordinated actions from the business sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect vulnerable ecosystems, and ensure a sustainable future for all generations. In this context, the UN Global Compact – Brazil Network will hold the side event “Business & Climate Ambition,” bringing together business leaders for a unique moment of global connections and discussions on the progress of the Brazilian private sector in the climate agenda.

Throughout the event, there will be discussions on the need to increase ambition so that business strategies align with scientific targets and the goal of keeping the average global temperature rise below 1.5°C. Additionally, the event will explore ways to enable climate mitigation and adaptation actions through climate finance that ensure a just transition, leaving no one behind. Actions are already underway, reaffirming the business commitment to the Global Climate Agenda.

-Promote a qualified debate on the risks and opportunities of climate change in the business sector and how to adapt to this reality.
