Sustainable Innovation Forum
Returning for its 16th year at COP30, the Sustainable Innovation Forum, a flagship event of the Climate Action Innovation Zone will amplify the role of the private sector in delivering climate solutions, connecting governments and investors with the practitioners and problem-solvers delivering climate solutions on the ground.
For two impactful days (6 - 7 November) , the Forum will support the COP30 Presidency’s call to match urgency with unity, and ambition with action.
Join us to hear global climate leaders sharing their expertise and insights, learn about proven solutions that can be replicated at speed and scale, and forge dynamic partnerships to help shape the economy we need, for the future we want.
In addition to the Plenary Agenda, the Forum will include a stream dedicated to Transforming Agri-Food Systems on the afternoon of the 6 November, plus a series of deep-dive roundtables and partner events exploring critical implementation pathways.
Climate Implementation Summit
The Climate Implementation Summit will also take place on Saturday 8 November in São Paulo, Brazil, within the Climate Action Innovation Zone at the Renaissance São Paulo Hotel.
Organised by Climate Action, Converge Capital, and the Institute for Climate and Society (iCS), the Summit is aligned with the six axes of the COP30 Action Agenda and the Baku-to-Belém Roadmap, and will showcase transformative solutions that are shaping the future of our planet.
The high-level Summit will convene 500 global leaders across business, finance, philanthropy and government to spotlight the ambition and action of the private sector in delivering climate solutions.
With key implementation partners including WBCSD, UNEP FI, IFC, CEBDS, SB COP and SMI, the summit will be a strategic platform to showcase real-world solutions and materialise the spirit of collective effort championed by the COP30 Presidency.
