COP29 and Local Climate Action: Impact on Middle East Businesses
The rapidly evolving global climate makes it crucial for individuals, businesses, and both governmental and non-governmental entities in the Middle East to remain proactive about sustainability and climate action. The urgency of these efforts is underscored by the latest developments from COP29, held in Baku, Azerbaijan from 11 to 22 November 2024. This conference brought together leaders from governments, businesses, and civil society to advance concrete solutions for addressing climate change, which has significant implications for a region already experiencing notable environmental shifts.
In response to these developments, we recently hosted a webinar on COP29 and local climate action. This session offered insights into the progress and changes since COP28, and how these developments impact businesses in the Middle East. Our aim was to provide participants with the practical knowledge needed to align their strategies with the latest climate action initiatives.During the webinar, our experts discussed several key topics:
- Progress and changes since COP28
- Key business focus areas in COP29
- Climate and sustainability impact on the Middle East
- The United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) Climate Change Initiatives
- Saudi Arabia's Green Initiatives and their regional impact
- Impact on wider finance functions, including tax, within the Middle East
