McKinsey Sustainability
Our role as a convener during COP29 was a continuation of the firm’s long-term commitment to accelerate sustainable, inclusive growth. Each year, McKinsey convenes global leaders alongside the Conference of the Parties (COP), the UN’s summit to accelerate global action to address climate change. This November 11–22, 2024 at the twenty-ninth COP (COP29) in Azerbaijan, we hosted a series of in-person and virtual events featuring business, government, and nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders. Our discussions focused on how to implement ambitious climate commitments while leading a wave of innovation and economic growth that safeguards our planet and advances sustainability.
