FOREWORD

While we covered the entirety of COP28 in December 2023 , the real effects of the climate conversations and social impact strategies are likely to be reflected in the achievements across the globe in 2024 .

Perhaps this year is the one where the most carbon-intensive countries begin to pave a solid path into the future – a zerocarbon future . In 2024 , we ’ ll be focusing our attention on the topics discussed at the 28th annual conference , and expect to see a few things implemented globally : electrification ( of both cars and infrastructure ), GenAI driving the business landscape , automotive divesting its emissions , and workforces enhancing the presence of women and diverse cultures within their operational and leadership teams .

One more thing to keep an eye on over the next 12 months – climate tech . As this topic grows in popularity , Sustainability ’ s events team prepares an exciting new style of conference for the brand that will be heavily influenced by the trending decarbonisation solutions .
