Kicking-off our #SME and value chain focused session here at #COP29. W/o #SMEs we won’t get to #netzero by 2050.

This is why we founded the @SMEClimateHub to help smaller companies start their climate journey.

At #COP29 we are asking for:

- Clear polic signals via investable, 1.5C-aligned NDCs

- Global public financial flows that help unlock scaled-up private finance & investment, particularly in low- and middle-income countries

🌍 Renewable energy is unstoppable—even in a shifting political landscape.

At #COP29, we need ambitious climate finance and global cooperation to make sustainable energy accessible everywhere, especially for low-income nations. (🧵1/2)

Full house at our flagship #WomenLeadingOnClimate event at #COP29.

Follow this space! 💪

[María Mendiluce @mendiluce]

Companies are investing in #CleanEnergy because it makes perfect business sense even in an economy that is still built for fossil fuels.

The clean energy market is set to reach >$2 trillion by 2035. That’s the size of crude oil today.

I'm excited to join forces w/ @cathmckenna on this crucial initiative. Women bring essential traits & qualities to leadership that greatly benefit #ClimateAction.

Research also shows women are 2x as likely to speak out & engage their community on climate.

It’s time for companies to step up their game on #climate and this means:

1️⃣Phasing out fossil fuels
2️⃣Investing in #nature in a high-integrity manner

We need to stick to science & be pragmatic.
