The Sustainable Innovation Forum 2024 returns for its 16th annual edition during COP29, organised by Climate Action and other leading global partners; bringing together 1,000 global sustainability leaders across all sectors including business, heavy industry, finance, government and civil society to promote transformative innovation and tangible climate action to help us go further, faster together.

Despite strong commitments at COP28, increasing regulation in Europe and incredible technological advancements the world over, we are still falling far short of the required scale and speed necessary to rewire the global economy and stabilise the world’s climate at 1.5°C. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recently announced that annual average global temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of the next five years. As UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres declared, “We need an exit ramp off the highway to climate hell.”

Taking place from 13-14^th November in the heart of Baku and forming the flagship forum of the Climate Action Innovation Zone, the Sustainable Innovation Forum aims to redress this by bringing global leaders, corporate and financial executives, innovators, and government representatives together to deep dive into challenges, share successes and collaborate on solutions. The Forum does not require Blue Zone accreditation, ensuring an inclusive platform and gathering for all key stakeholders and decision makers.

Climate, Environment and Sustainability Programme activities

The techUK Climate Programme provides opportunities for members to present tech solutions that assist carbon emission reduction, circularity, and human rights goals. We also help our members with their own net zero transition, including measurement, implementation, compliance, and reporting. Visit the programme page here.

With increasing scrutiny from regulators and a surge in litigation cases, companies across all sectors, including tech, are under pressure to ensure their sustainability claims are accurate and truthful. Join us for an engaging in-person event organised by techUK and Bates Wells, where we will dive into the rapidly evolving landscape of greenwashing regulation and litigation.
