Current climate strategies ‘fall miles short of what is needed,’ report says ahead of COP29?
The annual United Nations Climate Change Conference – COP29 - is less than a week away where world leaders will gather in Baku to discuss climate action, progress, and objectives. COP29 is being coined the ‘finance COP’, as a key focus will be on aligning investments with climate actions and strategies. A new UN report shows current proposed actions from countries fall ‘miles short of what is needed.'?
“COP29 must be an enabling COP, delivering concrete and ambitious outcomes on climate finance that take account of developing country needs,” Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Simon Stiell said.?
With this in mind, we know talks from the conference will bring heightened focus and expectations to the private sector and the responsibility businesses hold to ensure they are not only aligning with targets but demonstrating true impact and emissions reduction from their climate efforts.??

Supply chain data shows key sourcing markets are high risk for emissions issues?
Our Supply Chain ESG Global Risk Outlook report, which will be fully released this month, shows that at least 64 sourcing countries/regions assessed in our EiQ software are at high or extreme risk for emissions violations in 2024.?
EiQ’s air emissions index reflects the risk associated with excessive air emissions or lack of air emission control detected during onsite audits. The index encompasses instances of non-compliances associated with whether air emissions have been identified, characterised, routinely monitored, controlled, treated prior to discharge and other associated violations.??
Quantifying and addressing such categories of emissions requires close engagement, cooperation and collaboration across the value chain. Engaging all parties, from internal procurement teams to external suppliers and vendors, is essential to obtain accurate data for initial emissions quantifications.?

By taking the course, you’ll learn how to measure, manage and report your emissions, and how you can support suppliers to do the same.??
