Stories that capture our partnerships and innovative impact for a more connected, sustainable world
As Global Strategic Partner for World Climate Forum, Jacobs aims to draw on our experience from across the world to enhance cross-sector dialogue between key stakeholders to strengthen coalitions and alliances, focusing on transforming commitments into actions that support the Paris Agreement and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals across the World Climate Foundation’s Strategic Roadmap to COP26.
The importance of our global climate actions in the next nine years cannot be understated. Recently, a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirmed that we’re at imminent risk of hitting the climate tipping point of 1.5°C much sooner than predicted. This could well be in less than a decade, resulting in calamitous weather extremes of irreversible consequences.
To limit global temperature, rise as close as possible to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, it is crucial that leaders from government, businesses and civil society organizations advance immediate and long-term climate actions in line with the goals under the Paris Agreement and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
As a Global Strategic Partner of World Climate Forum, we’re proud to commit our investment, efforts and resources to help our industries, clients and communities transform commitments into actions.
This September, we will be elevating critical conversations at two major world climate events leading up to COP26; World Climate Forum North America and World Climate Forum Asia 2021, which will be taking place virtually.
Jacobs Chair and CEO Steve Demetriou will be delivering an opening address on ‘The Asian Century - Carbon Neutral Transformation of Mega Cities’ to explore the challenges and limitations of the current approach to decarbonizing cities and how a more holistic approach can help accelerate our transition to net-zero, while at the same time help address entrenched social issues and inequalities in communities.
Both events will gather senior policymakers and high-level public and private actors from around the world for action-oriented discussions on advancing net-zero targets across all sectors to limit global warming to 1.5°, as well as accelerate the green recovery and adaptation.
World Climate Forum North America, September 22
This year’s World Climate Forum North America will take place virtually on September 22 during New York Climate Week and the United Nations General Assembly. The objective of the event is to present opportunities for the advancement of global climate goals towards COP26 in line with ‘Build Back Better’ recovery plan through public-private collaboration, innovation and solutions.
The program will focus on energy transition, infrastructure and recovery and adaptation to help industries transition toward clean economy through green recovery and accelerate decarbonization efforts through finance, innovation and infrastructure.
