THE CGA AT COP31

Returning to COP for a 6th year as a key platform for cross-sector collaboration, The Innovation Zone gives the real economy its own venue at COP31. Bringing together 2,000 global stakeholders committed to climate action and the delivery of the Global Action Agenda and run independently of the COP31 Blue and Green Zones, it is a premium, dynamic space dedicated to driving implementation at scale. Earth4All’s Sandrine Dixson-Declève will be speaking on a panel about systems change at midday on the main stage.

Climate policy is being rolled back in places where it once looked secure, on both sides of the Atlantic. Companies that invested in decarbonisation are facing policy uncertainty and an anti-ESG backlash, while young activists are losing civic space and institutional allies. Neither can hold the line alone. Jóvenes por el Clima Argentina (JOCA) is bringing young climate leaders from Latin America and Europe to the same table as senior European business leaders for a 60-minute roundtable built for dialogue, not speeches. Together we’ll name what’s at stake, share alliances that have worked under hostile politics, and agree on joint commitments that will feed a statement released at COP31 and a follow-up dialogue through COP32.

Location: Business Pavilion, Zone B2, Pavilion: C-555

A deep dive into a new model for corporate resilience: co-investment across value chains. Moving beyond siloed, company-by-company approaches that duplicate costs, this session highlights how Australia’s most climate-exposed industries are strengthening competitiveness through shared investment. Using examples from Qantas, Worley, and major agricultural players, the discussion will reveal how aligning on shared risks can unlock new commercial models and attract private capital for long-term resilience.

Location: Ted Countdown House

This session will address how the success of climate diplomacy depends on a wider constellation of new leadership, public trust and organised support. COP negotiations have always been convened between Member States, but the process has been increasingly shaped by vested corporate interests. The purpose of the session is not simply to bring more voices into the room but to cultivate a new generation of diplomats who can tap into new constituencies, knowledge and influence in order to help elevate high ambition to ensure that action on the ground responds to lived realities and aspirations. This session will convene emerging thought leaders, social media personalities and cultural voices, Indigenous and frontline communities who can reach new audiences and build change from the ground up. We will explore what would actually give these new diplomats meaningful influence over decisions, rather than another platform on the sidelines?
