Day 1 and Day 2


Political will and leadership will be necessary to set the world on course to achieve the Paris goals through a successful and ambitious COP27 – one that sustains the promise of Glasgow of keeping 1.5 alive, delivers for those most vulnerable to climate change and provides the clarity business really needs to go faster and further.

Despite enormous current challenges in global security and supply chains, companies continue to work towards the 1.5° path and to invest into sustainable transformation.

Against this background, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) – the institutional representative of 45 million businesses of all sizes and sectors and in over 100 countries and ICC Germany – organized the 6th ICC PreCOP Forum on September 28-29, 2022 in Düsseldorf (hybrid).

The main focus of this year’s forum was on implementation and impact.

Distinguished representatives of the UNFCCC and the UN High-Level Climate Champions team, German Government, the private and financial sector as well as academia and civil society exchanged ideas and insights on the role of global business in global climate and environmental protection.

Together we discussed such urgent questions as energy security and technologies, mobilizing business and finance for adaptation, socially inclusive transition, carbon markets and climate clubs.

Please find here the whole agenda of the event.
