The platform provides a unique opportunity to connect and reinforce collective business action in the region in the run up to COP30 in Brazil, building on best case experiences and promoting an active engagement with governments and relevant local actors to activate positive ‘ambition loops’ in terms of climate policies and general enabling conditions for green economy.

It will be especially important to: (1) provide visibility on the green economy opportunities for local businesses; (2) take advantage of synergies and learning opportunities; and (3) accelerate the development of public policies that promote investment in the green economy in the region.

Objectives:

  • To mobilise the private sector (representatives of key industries in the region) to give governments clear signals about the specific green economy opportunities for the region and what needs to be done to promote climate action.
  • To propose public policies that accelerate investment in climate action and the green economy.
  • Raise public awareness of the benefits of a transition to a green economy.
  • Develop collaboration frameworks with other organisations in the region with similar objectives (e.g., We Mean Business, UN Global Compact, WBCSD, WEF, etc.)
