Paris (France) will host One Planet Summit, an international summit on climate on 12 December, the second anniversary of the adoption of the Paris Agreement.

The summit, co-organised by the United Nations and the World Bank, will seek to mobilise the international community, the financial sector, local governments, the research community and civil society to step up the fight against climate change. The event will have a particular focus on measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and methods to protect people from the effects of climate change.

One of the main themes to be explored at the event will be ways to incentivise economic and financial stakeholders to redirect financing towards low-carbon projects. The event will also provide an opportunity to showcase practical initiatives in sectors related to the energy transition and low-carbon development, such as renewable energies, clean transport, energy efficiency, construction, agriculture, and forestry.
