Starting in:
The third edition of World Conference on Climate Change & Sustainability will provide an opportunity to focus attention on the opportunities, challenges and solutions towards net zero worldwide. It will follow up on the first and second edition, held in 2022 and 2023 in Frankfurt and Rome respectively. This Edition Climate Week 2024 theme is “Tech and Tomorrow: Analysing Progress in Climate Change & Sustainability” to accelerate collaboration and integrate climate action into global pandemic recovery. Building forward opens an opportunity to address social inequalities and invest in sustainability development that is good for humanity and nature.
Joining this year’s Climate Week 2024 Barcelona event you’ll learn how people are affected by climate change – from Midwest farmers to coastal residents and urban dwellers. Everyone is a climate stakeholder. You’ll also learn about the people who are finding solutions to climate change, and you’ll get ideas of how to take action to help address climate change.
As Vice President Gore likes to say, “We must, we can, and we will solve the climate crisis.” At the conference, you’ll learn how acting now to swiftly transition from dirty fossil fuels to clean energy can dramatically limit global warming.
The stated goal of the conference is to “to provide a discussion forum for global leaders undertaking research on climate and climate change in an array of disciplines, including atmospheric, biological, earth and ocean sciences, social sciences and environment.”
You’ll have the chance to meet other Climate Leaders and build a network of fellow activists to support you in the work ahead. Because we’re all in this fight together – and that’s how we’ll win. Together
Discover the compelling scientific evidence confirming that today’s climate change is a result of human actions. While the climate has naturally evolved throughout Earth’s history, the current warming trend is unprecedented and poses significant vulnerabilities. The conference delves into actionable strategies to decelerate this rapid climate change, emphasizing that both global initiatives and individual efforts can make a meaningful impact.
Climate Week 2024 is meticulously designed to assemble a diverse array of exploration and case studies from across the globe. It offers contemporaneous sessions, providing numerous networking opportunities to engage with leading experts, including organizations, agencies, business leaders, scientists, global and regional companies, investors, academia, entrepreneurs, and more. The focus is on fostering discussions and collaborative efforts to address the climate crisis through sustainable business solutions, disruptive technology, and advanced knowledge.
By participating in Climate Week Barcelona, you are not only catalyzing change but also shaping the future and leading the charge toward a sustainable world. This global event provides a unique platform for professionals to actively engage in the forefront of global conversations on climate change. Don’t miss the chance to sign up and contribute to the collective efforts aimed at creating a more sustainable and resilient future.
