Context
Set at the midpoint in 2025, the State of Climate Politics Forum is a crucial platform for assessing dynamic geopolitical and political changes, as well as the progress and prospects for climate action. It invites leading voices and thinkers to engage in pivotal conversations on how to craft the politics and geopolitics necessary for climate safety at the midpoint of the critical decade for climate action.
E3G offers a unique forum to assess:
Climate leadership from London to Belém in 2025
Risk, resilience and science in the politics of 2025
The implications of shifting geopolitical realities for climate geopolitics
How the climate agenda interacts with trade, competitiveness and security
Clean economy acceleration and evolving geoeconomics
The public opinion case for political action versus a narrative of backlash and the populist challenge to net zero
Participants will engage in a series of keynotes, panels, and facilitated conversations. The forum aims to harness the collective expertise, sentiments, and insights of attendees and provide a moment of learning and dialogue that elevates our collective ambition beyond our current risk exposure.
The Forum will be followed by an evening drinks reception.
