World Climate Summit 2015

The World Climate Summit and Sustainia Awards will take place on 6 December 2015 in Paris. It is the 6th annual premier business, finance, and government event in parallel to the UNFCCC COP meeting.

This historic one-day summit is the final stage of the Road to Paris 2015 initiative: the global platform of business, finance, states, regions, and cities that will support the signing of a binding global climate change agreement at COP21 in Paris. It will showcase concepts, solutions, and collaborations for solving climate change and create green jobs and growth.
