| November 14 – Accelerating the Transition to a Decarbonized Future Watch this session now. Last year’s IPCC report lent even more urgency to the global push to transition away from fossil fuels. Despite this, global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions grew by 1.1% in 2023 with emissions from coal accounting for more than 65% of that increase. While global investment in renewable energy continues to increase, governments, businesses, and the finance community clearly need to do more – both individually and collectively, to accelerate the move away from fossil fuels. COP29’s focus on finance presents an opportunity to explore how the necessary capital can be mobilized to reduce emissions from coal, which remains the single largest source of global greenhouse-gas emissions. What must happen to mobilize the scale of finance needed to accelerate the coal-to-clean transition while addressing the related socioeconomic issues? How can Baku catalyze the necessary coalitions to demonstrate progress and to keep everyone's eye on the prize? This session is produced in partnership with Carbon Trust and the Coal Asset Transition Accelerator (CATA). | |

| November 16 – Financial Inclusion Is Climate Action Watch this session now. Financial inclusion through digital technology is increasingly recognized as a key factor in helping vulnerable communities both adapt to climate change and contribute to global decarbonization efforts through homegrown innovation and sustainable development. But with almost one-quarter of people in developing countries still unbanked, and with more than two billion people employed in the informal economy, there is still much more to do to close the inclusion gap and reap the benefits that will follow. This session is produced in partnership with Mastercard. | |

Many people here at the bank agree that this was the most professional looking, well moderated, and entertaining event we have supported or participated in... The speakers were top-level and highly knowledgable throughout, and the whole design was very slick.
