Webinar
Climate Mitigation and Beyond
Join us at responsAbility for an in-depth webinar on Climate Mitigation and Beyond, where we’ll discuss the latest developments in climate finance and reflections on COP29. During this session we will consider the importance of climate finance in emerging markets, the role of private capital in addressing both adaptation and mitigation, and the practical steps responsAbility is taking to make a tangible difference on the ground. We will discuss projects that support mitigation as well as adaptation. Adaptation initiatives help communities adjust to the current and expected impacts of climate change - such as building resilient infrastructure, improving water management, and developing climate-resistant agriculture whilst Mitigation, focuses on reducing or preventing the emission of greenhouse gases to curb climate change. Both approaches are essential to building a sustainable future, and private capital has a vital role in supporting each.
What to expect:
Reflections on COP29 outcomes and their implications for climate finance
Insights into the value of private sector investment in adaptation and mitigation strategies
Examples from emerging markets that showcase practical applications of adaptation and resilience projects
An overview of our approach to project sourcing, evaluation, and on-the-ground support
Who should attend:
Investors, industry professionals, and anyone passionate about making a meaningful impact through sustainable finance.
