BCG at COP29
Global leaders will gather at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, to drive the conversation and compel action around climate action, sustainability targets, and the energy transition.
Each year, the UN convenes a Conference of Parties (COP), bringing together public and private sector leaders to catalyse action and deliver climate progress. From November 11 to November 22, the COP Presidency of Azerbaijan will host COP29 in Baku, with a program focused on advancing the targets set forth in the Paris Agreement and designing an inclusive energy transition.
Every COP represents a critical moment in international progress and cooperation—an opportunity to align and forge collective action around a shared purpose. But each also acts as a reminder that time is running out to combat the worst effects of climate change. The objective of COP29 is focusing on the need to “invest today to save tomorrow.” Innovative solutions to the challenges of climate finance, adaptation and resilience, nationally determined contributions, and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement are desperately needed.
