The lead up to UNFCCC COP30 (to be hosted in Brazil, November 2025) is a critical window of opportunity for both state and non-state actors to raise their ambition to achieve a global transition to net zero.
As a major milestone in the road to COP30, London Climate Action Week is an opportunity to engage with our signatories and external stakeholders on our key issues, exchange ideas, showcase investor action, and drive progression in the responsible investment landscape.
On 4th-6th November, we will be hosting PRI in Person in Sao Paulo in advance of COP30 in Belem. In the run up, PRI will continue to deepen its policy engagement on climate and will use the opportunity of hosting PRI in Person in Sao Paulo just days beforehand to ensure the voices of responsible investors are heard by global policy makers. Early bird rates are available until 2nd July.
