Actions after impacts: How can businesses address climate losses and damages?

Millions of people are suffering from climate change impacts. Science is unequivocal that these will increase in magnitude and frequency. No sector, no business, no community will escape from having to recover from climate losses and damages. Action is needed now. The great double injustice is that those who have done the least to cause climate change are among those paying the highest price.

Join this session to learn more about The Climate Pledge, The Climate Pledge Fund and more about signatories working together to reach net-zero carbon by 2040.

Advancing Environmental Health Equity

Climate change is a global public health crisis, but the impacts are not distributed equally. While work to mitigate climate change is essential, action must also be taken to accelerate resiliency and adaptation – especially in communities that are feeling the impacts of climate change today. This session by Johnson & Johnson will bring together frontline healthcare workers, climate specialists and community advocates to discuss both the challenges and opportunities for climate change and health equity.

Reimagining A Fair Data Future: Launch of the Data Values Campaign

This side event, hosted by the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, will launch the Data Values Campaign, a global campaign centered around a manifesto for change that sparks dialogue, builds a movement, and catalyzes action to unlock a fairer data future for all. The campaign will be a movement that brings together diverse and often underrepresented perspectives, stories, and expertise on issues around data and power. The event will frame the need to critically examine the ways that power is distributed in the production, sharing, and use of data, and in how data use and governance can challenge or exacerbate existing power imbalances.
