Sustainable Innovation Forum 2022 | Climate Action | 8 November 2022 | Tonino Lamborghini International Convention Center Sharm El Sheikh, El Salam Road,Um Marikha Bay، South Sinai Governorate, Egypt

For 13 years, it has been uniting heads of state, multilaterals, environment ministers, business leaders, investors, and NGOs alongside the UN Climate Change negotiations, convening the largest multi-stakeholder forum.

We know the role of non-state actors in the transition to net-zero is critical. That’s why SIF has been designed to allow stakeholders to have a tangible impact at COP both in-person and online by forging cross-sector partnerships, spotlighting effective business action, and showcasing the innovative solutions that will enable us to achieve the SDGs and reach net-zero.
