COP30 Open Letter: The future is going to be set by the transition decisions we make today

This video is part of: Centre for Nature and Climate

We’re on track for 3°C warming – and business leaders say it’s time to act. ‘We don’t yet know the full impact of a world that hot, but we do know it’s urgent to prepare,’ says Pim Valdre, Head of Climate and Nature Economy at the WorldEconomicForum. That’s why 130+ major companies with $4 trillion in combined revenues have joined forces through the Alliance Of CEO Climate Leaders, to urge policy-makers to act. Their message is clear: - Business is already cutting emissions at scale. - Now we need policies that unlock green markets, speed the transition and build a nature-positive, low-emissions economy. - The choices made today will define the pace of #climate action for decades to come. As the world looks to COP30, momentum is building for collective action on climate change. The World Economic Forum and its partners are helping scale what already works - from innovative finance models and policy frameworks to business-led solutions that deliver sustainable prosperity. By investing in nature as core economic infrastructure, we can unlock opportunity for People Planet Progress. Read the Open Letter to COP30: https://wef.ch/openletter2025
