The 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference, better known as COP30, will be held from 10 to 21 November 2025 in Belém, in the state of Pará, Brazil.

The success of decarbonisation and the transition to mostly or totally consuming renewable energies depends on their stability throughout the day. Green energy production, as well as its storage, must be optimised to control how it is fed into the electricity grid and prevent issues due to its intermittency. This is where energy storage solutions such as BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) or thermal storage come into play, the combined use of which will help to renew the current grid to ensure mostly clean energy is being used.

New York City hosted the 17th edition of Climate Week (21-28 September) under the slogan Power On, which reflects the ongoing momentum and progress in the fight against climate change.

In 2015, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), a working group with the aim of developing consistent disclosure standards for companies. The TCFD has evolved to become the global standard for climate-related financial disclosures.

Organisations such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) consider carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) technology essential to achieving net zero emissions targets and tackling climate change. This technology not only helps reduce emissions but also enables the reuse of CO₂ in sectors such as construction and synthetic fuel production.
