Dubai, December 10, 2023 — World Climate Summit – The Investment COP 2023 concluded in Dubai alongside COP28, emerging as a pivotal event in the ongoing battle against climate change. Attended by over 2000 high-level experts, including government officials, industry leaders, and advocates, the two-day summit was a crucible of intensive discussions, spotlight sessions, and industry-specific workshops. It provided a comprehensive exploration of the challenges and imperative actions for transitioning to a low-carbon economy and highlighted the pressing need for global collaboration.


Collaboration Takes Center Stage

The Summit’s central theme underscored the importance of collaboration, from decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors to integrating nature into climate solutions and finance. The urgency of horizontal and vertical collaboration strategies across industries and along the supply chain was emphasized, with a strong focus on social inclusion and justice. Kehkashan Basu, Founder and President of the Green Hope Foundation, delivered a compelling call for collective action, asserting, “We need every single stakeholder to turn ambition into action for a climate-just future.”

Private Sector as a Catalyst for Change

Businesses emerged as catalysts for policy development, advocating for policies supporting both their interests and environmental sustainability. Panelists, including Pei Chi Wong from Global Canopy, underscored the positive impact of nature conservation on commercial interests. Wong stressed the need to end deforestation and nature degradation, proclaiming, “No more excuses not to act!”

Clear Regulations and the Evolution of Climate Finance

Summit discussions delved into the transformative journey of climate finance, as outlined by Mary Burce Warlick, Deputy Executive Director at the International Energy Agency. The evolving landscape, transitioning from a focus on green energy to a broader climate action perspective, was a significant focal point. Emphasis was placed on developing streamlined global regulations to facilitate industry decarbonization and energy transition, with common definitions deemed crucial to preventing greenwashing.

Focus on Emerging Markets and Key Announcements

The Summit showcased a robust focus on emerging markets, with the launch of the Investment Mobilization Collaboration Arrangement (IMCA) grabbing headlines. The arrangement, a partnership between the US, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, aims to de-risk and mobilize billions in private capital for climate mitigation and adaptation in emerging and developing markets by 2025. Additionally, the World Climate Foundation’s 2024 Roadmap and the Nature Investment Coalition (NIC) were announced, providing a strategic framework and collaborative platform for catalyzing investments in nature markets and nature-based solutions.

Balochistan’s Innovation Shines at COP28

Meanwhile, at COP28’s Innovation Zone and Climate Summit, Mr. Khalid Hussain Mir from Balochistan province of Pakistan showcased SHARF, an innovative startup addressing food waste and promoting a circular economy. His insightful perspective challenged prevailing misconceptions about climate action, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive approach. Mir’s dual narrative of innovative solutions and advocacy for flood-affected communities through the Chanan Development Association (CDA) Pakistan resonated with the global audience at COP28, standing as a testament to the region’s unwavering commitment to addressing pressing global challenges. 

World Climate Summit 2023 and Hope for 2024

As the world turns its attention to the collaborative efforts showcased at COP28, Balochistan’s innovative startup SHARF and advocacy for flood-affected communities stand as a testament to the region’s unwavering commitment to addressing pressing global challenges. The comprehensive insights and initiatives shared at the Summit will undoubtedly contribute to driving the climate and nature agenda towards COP29 and COP16 in the coming year, inspiring bigger and bolder actions. Jens Nielsen, CEO and Founder of the World Climate Foundation, extended a sincere thank you to partners, members, and participants for their valuable contributions. The key lessons learned from this dual narrative will shape the trajectory of global climate action, fostering resilience and sustainability in the face of our shared environmental challenges.
