This is what the UN Executive Secretary for Climate Change warned us, Simon Stiell, The company's president and CEO said in a speech in London on April 10. According to the Paris Agreement, To keep global warming to 1.5°C, greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025 and be reduced by 43% by 2030. We are eight months away from 2025; emissions continue to rise and national government commitments are not aligned with the 1.5°C target.
However, great progress is being made in establishing the rules for a new low-carbon economy from the global north, especially in the European Union. These advances are generating new expectations and demands for Latin American companies, given that the global economy is interdependent.
What is expected of Latin American companies in this scenario? We will answer that question this May 29, 30 and 31 at our ninth edition of nexos+1: Foro Latam 2024, Latin America's virtual business climate action conference. With the help of regional and international experts and business cases, we will ground the state of the climate crisis, international agreements, and the latest trends in five focus areas: accelerated decarbonization, climate finance and investment, effective climate communication, natural capital, and corporate climate resilience.
Whether out of conviction, competitiveness or regulation, every company must be informed and prepared for the decarbonization of our economy. The transition is underway.
