Background

The climate ambitions of multinational enterprises will impact the environmental performance of countries around the world. As leading actors, proactive enterprises can impose sustainability standards or encourage green technology transfers that, in some cases, could affect millions of producers and accelerate the climate transition. How to promote enterprises to play a leading role in technological innovation, how to actively confront obstacles to low-carbon technologies and industries, and how to accelerate rapid low-carbon technology globalization in a complex geopolitical environment have become urgent issues to be solved.

Energy Foundation China, World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and China Entrepreneurs Forum plan to hold the COP28 Entrepreneur Initiative on December 9, 2023, in Dubai. The event aims to provide a cross-border platform for Chinese and international enterprises, academic institutions, and relevant decision-makers to discuss the concept of green development, promote green technology innovation and green transition in enterprises’ climate change mitigation strategies, and promote international cooperation for innovative development.
