Start date: Tuesday, June 4, 2024
Start time: 8:30 AM EDT| 1:30 PM BST
Duration: 4 Hours
At the halfway point between the COP 28 and COP 29 Climate Change Conferences, Bloomberg Intelligence and Bloomberg LP are pleased to host leading experts from the public and private sector in a series of discussions on the progress made since Dubai and the progress still to be made in Baku and beyond. We will look at the role the oil & gas industry can play in the transition, following a historical COP 28 deal to phase out fossil fuels, key decisions on funding an orderly & just transition that will be made at COP 29 (already dubbed the "Finance COP"), and a look at the intersection of climate and biodiversity. We will also look further ahead at the world of 2030, when climate will be further integrated into key financial markets.
