Our planet is already 1.1 degrees Celsius warmer on average than it was a century ago, resulting in unprecedented impacts, with more warming to come. There has never been a greater need for the innovations, technologies, services and finance instruments at scale that the private sector can mobilize in support of resilient infrastructure, water, health, and food security. As part of the implementation of the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE), this event will introduce a new cohort of companies responding to the Call to Action to the Private Sector and showcase how key private sector actors are taking bold action in support of climate-vulnerable communities. It will include a discussion of how the private sector can collaborate with organizations and communities at the local level.
All U.S. Center events will be live-streamed on the U.S Center at COP28 website and the U.S. Center YouTube channel
