GO Explorer Day 2019

The Go Explorer Day will focus on turning climate risks into climate opportunities, showcasing innovative solutions with business potential. We will discuss with business and political leaders how to take actions and achieve the ambitious goals.

This year’s COP24 annual UN climate conference concluded with the Paris Agreement “rulebook”, starting a new international climate regime under which all countries will have to report their emissions – and progress in cutting them.

Businesses have a big role to play and need to take actions to help countries meet the ambitious goals. The world certainly needs business leaders to help accelerate the energy transition.

We look forward to engage, inspire and empower you in your leadership to accelerate the transition to a safe and sustainable future.
