Three online regional World Climate Forums lead up to World Climate Summit - the investment COP 2021
World Climate Summit now offers an exciting new series of digital, regional World Climate Forums. At these Forums, governments can transform climate ambitions into successful markets for climate business and market players in major regions of the world and instigate collaboration on policy, innovation, and investments.
Objectives of World Climate Forum 2020 Series
Expanding on 10 years of Convening Public-Private Partnerships
The World Climate Forums will build on the decade of experience set in place of convening key global stakeholders at the World Climate Summit events, alongside the COP negotiations. The Forums will also develop on from the impacts of previous successful regional conferences from World Climate Foundation including in the Nordic Countries, Northeast US, and Dubai.

Format of World Climate Forum
Its engaging digital format combines dynamic keynotes, interactive panel discussions, and informative workshops delivered through webinars and podcasts produced to the highest standard via live and on-demand.
The programme for each Forum will be divided into two days: day one will focus on the energy transition and infrastructure,
day two will focus on recovery and adaptation. The key drivers highlighted across both days and sessions are finance, policy,
innovation and partnerships.
In addition, World Climate Forum’s unique value proposition – Engagement Hubs will serve as a precursor series of activities and announcements to the actual event. They are information portals that enable interaction between thought leaders and WCF’s community, before, during and after the event sustaining momentum on the roadmap to 2021 and COP26.
