Register Now: Join Us on November 7 for a Groundbreaking Event Showcasing Business Solutions for Carbon Accounting and Emission Reductions

‍

COP30 arrives at a critical moment for global policymakers. The world needs more energy to drive human prosperity. It also needs to lower greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change. Both are critical, and society is falling short. A new approach is needed.

Business leaders are gathering in São Paulo on November 7 for an event sponsored by SB COP, Carbon Measures, and the International Chamber of Commerce in association with AmCham Brasil and the US Chamber of Commerce and will take place as part of the Climate Action’s 2025 Sustainable Innovation Forum.

We ask that you join us in this groundbreaking event to help advance the dialogue on the need for a pragmatic, transparent, and useful carbon accounting framework that is coupled with product intensity standards to create differentiated markets for low-carbon products.

The event’s objective is to chart a collaborative path forward on an approach that will drive emission reductions and economic development.
