As global leaders prepare for COP30 in Belém, it is crucial to review the outcomes of COP29 and the evolving geopolitical and economic landscape that will shape the immediate future of climate action.

This Ecosperity Conversations session, co-curated with PwC Singapore, will examine recent developments, the challenges ahead, and strategies for public and private stakeholders to stay on course towards a sustainable future.

Climate action has accelerated since the Paris Agreement, with fresh ambition from countries and corporates generating new technology ideas, market mechanisms and frameworks for decarbonisation. However, recent geopolitical shifts, insufficient outcomes at COP29 and recalibration of corporate ambitions, have caused bumps and concerns for the climate action trajectory. Meanwhile, the physical risks of climate change continue to persist, with climate-amplified weather disasters bearing down increasingly on communities and destroying lives and livelihoods.

• How should businesses practice discernment, apply pragmatism, and adopt the right approaches in this season of volatility?
• How will the energy transition unfold in our region as well as other parts of the world like the US, China and Europe? How will this impact Singapore?
• What are areas to look out for COP30 in Belém, and what are the challenges and opportunities for us?
