Each year, McKinsey convenes global leaders alongside the Conference of the Parties (COP), the UN’s summit to accelerate global action to address climate change. This November 30–December 12, 2023 at the twenty-eighth COP (COP28) in the United Arab Emirates, we will host a series of in-person and virtual events featuring business, government, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders. Our discussions will focus on how to implement ambitious climate commitments while leading a wave of innovation and economic growth that safeguards our planet and advances sustainability.
Our role as a convener during COP28 is a continuation of the firm’s long-term commitment to accelerate sustainable and inclusive growth. In the months leading to COP28, we will publish thought leadership and host webinars on priority COP themes, create innovative climate tools and solutions, work with our clients to implement aspirational net-zero plans, and convene a vibrant ecosystem of institutions to tackle some of the biggest problems facing our world today.
