COP 29,
21 November 2024

At COP29, our commitment to sustainability is at the forefront of the event’s agenda. We aim to minimize environmental impact and enhance public engagement in climate action by promoting inclusivity and accessibility. Our sustainability policy is designed to create a climate-neutral event that meets the highest standards of environmental responsibility through several key commitments:

  1. Carbon Neutrality: We are dedicated to achieving carbon neutrality by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the use of renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and offsetting any unavoidable emissions.

  2. Promotion of Sustainable Practices: Our efforts include reducing single-use plastics, encouraging sustainable transportation methods, and adopting environmentally friendly procurement practices.

  3. Accessibility and Inclusivity: We ensure the event is accessible to everyone, regardless of physical abilities or socio-economic backgrounds, with a special focus on youth, women, and underrepresented groups.

  4. Legacy and Continuity: Our goal is to leave a positive legacy by supporting local sustainability initiatives and investing in infrastructure and capacity building that promotes ongoing climate action.

  5. Transparency and Accountability: We maintain transparency in our decision-making processes and hold ourselves accountable for our commitments, regularly reporting on our progress toward achieving sustainability goals.

  6. Collaboration and Partnerships: We actively foster partnerships with governments, organizations, civil society, and the private sector to tackle climate change and advance sustainability efforts.

  7. Safety for All: Ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of all participants is a top priority for all COP29 activities.

Through these commitments, COP29 aims to set a benchmark for sustainable practices in global events, drive meaningful climate action, and foster a more inclusive and resilient future.
