With significant ambition gaps visible between the climate action we need to see and the actual progress so far, COP30 must live up to its promise of being the “implementation COP”. E3G and our partners will be hosting, supporting and attending numerous evens in the lead-up and at COP30 on practical solutions to achieve global adaptation, mitigation, finance and governance goals.
Reach out to our comms team for more information: e3gcomms@e3g.org
