World Climate Summit – The Investment COP is the key platform accelerating climate action across sectors and is the leading C-level business and investment forum alongside the annual international climate negotiations.
The 2023 edition of World Climate Summit will deliver key outcomes aligned with the Foundations’ impact framework for COP28. It will thus actively contribute to the UAE COP Presidency priority areas to foster a successful COP28 that keeps the world on track for a 1.5°C pathway.
The programme links to the ambitions and priorities of the Paris Agreement and the associated Marrakech Partnership. It uses public-private sector collaboration to achieve the policies, innovations and investments required in the real economy to reach 2030 transition targets and a net-zero world by 2050.
Returning for its 14th year, the Summit is an internationally recognised forum with close ties to the Foundations’ impact initiatives such as the Climate Investment Coalition, World Biodiversity Network and World Health Network.
Mark Campanale, our FOunder and Director will be participating in the session Finance for Adaptation and Resilience – Creating a Green and Inclusive Future.

Climate change is now a driver of the world’s economy. The impact is profound:
- Catastrophic weather events — hurricanes, floods, droughts, high temperatures — are more frequent and more extreme. The cost can be measured in both the initial damage caused and the longer-term impact on the economy.
- Vulnerable communities are increasing climate-related investments, hardening infrastructure and taking other protective measures.
- Investment in carbon capture and storage technologies is increasingly rapidly.
- Governments are making investments and crafting regulations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
On top of all of this is the cost of uncertainty. As the Fourth National Climate Assessment, released in 2018 by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”
