COP30 is a landmark event in the global fight against climate change, coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of the Paris Agreement and the five-year countdown to the 2030 interim deadline for achieving climate goals by 2050. Serving as a crucial platform for establishing a roadmap to 2030, COP30 also put a spotlight on the Amazon rainforest, which is home to 60% of the world's largest intact forest and plays a vital role in global biodiversity and climate regulation.
As the climate crisis accelerates and geopolitical complexities emerge, KPMG worked to prepare a thoughtful program and presence that can help businesses better understand their nature- and climate-related risks as we work together to tackle climate change. Every business has a part to play and we want to help with this critical endeavor in any way we can.
