As the climate crisis continues to deepen, global leaders are continuing to develop, finance, and deploy new technologies to secure the future of our planet. Funding innovative, high-impact climate solutions and developing sustainable policies will be vital to meeting these urgent global environmental and energy challenges before it’s too late. Can governments, multilateral organizations, and the private sector come together to mobilize finance, upskill workers, and craft policies that can hasten the transition? What needs to be done to ensure access and equity in new financial models and policies to reduce emissions and restore our planet? How can sustainability strategies foster economic development? Amid these challenges and before the annual meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, join Foreign Policy for the fourth annual Climate Summit. Hear from top government officials, leading voices from industry, and climate experts who will engage in frank and forward-looking conversations on how we can address climate change and finance the energy transition.

The BNEF Summit provides the ideas, insights and connections to formulate successful strategies, capitalize on technological change and shape a cleaner, more competitive future.

Following the success of our inaugural Carbon Tracking and Reporting Canada Conference in November 2022, the 2nd edition of the Emissions Tracking and Reporting Canada Conference, aligned with Canada’s 2030 targets, will be held on November 28-29, 2023, in Calgary, Alberta. Canada has implemented regulations and policies to reduce carbon and methane emissions and mitigate climate change. As part of this effort, they have committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, reducing carbon and methane emissions by 45 and 75 percent, respectively, by 2025. Provincial legislation, such as the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system and the Carbon Competitiveness Incentive Regulation (CCIR), are at the core of Alberta’s approach to supporting practical mitigation efforts and investing in clean technology.

We will be participating in a private roundtable discussion

The Premier Forum for Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Technologies Welcome to Carbon Capture USA 2023, where industry leaders will meet in Houston, Texas, USA to explore next-generation technologies for carbon capture, utilization, storage, and transportation to meet net-zero emissions targets. Carbon dioxide levels in the Earth’s atmosphere have risen to critical levels and tackling climate change is one of the biggest global challenges requiring immediate action. Industries and government agencies are now looking at innovative ways to create a circular carbon economy. Carbon capture, utilization, and storage, or CCUS, is an emerging technology for reducing carbon emissions produced from energy production, heavy industries, and transportation. The captured CO₂ can be used as a valuable resource or permanently stored deep underground in geological formations, providing the foundation for carbon removal from the atmosphere. By creating new CCUS-based business models, industries can significantly reduce their carbon footprints and address the climate-energy challenges for the modern era.
