COP30, the 30th annual Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is a pivotal international event where global leaders, policymakers, scientists, and stakeholders convene to address climate change. These conferences play a crucial role in assessing global progress on climate action, negotiating new commitments, and setting strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate impacts.
Carrier Global Corporation, global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, is committed to creating solutions that matter for people and our planet for generations to come. Learn more about Carrier’s 2030 Sustainability Goals. Carrier is focused on all the ways we can help our customers and partners advance sustainability every day – from decreasing energy consumption in buildings to reducing food loss and resulting emissions across the cold chain.
As the international climate community sets its sights on COP30 in Brazil, we will showcase our commitment to climate action and sustainable innovation. By engaging with industry leaders, policymakers, and sustainability experts, we aim to drive meaningful progress towards a more sustainable future.

Held every three years, this year’s Summit brings together mayors, climate leaders, businesses, youth, academics and global voices to mark 20 years of decisive city leadership in tackling the climate crisis. Taking place just days before COP30, the Summit serves as a timely moment to elevate the critical role of cities, states, and regions and to help influence the negotiations ahead, ensuring local leadership is front and centre.
The Built Environment: Generating Resilient Communities session will bring together global city leaders, innovative businesses, and key stakeholders who are showing that building sustainable and resilient cities is not only possible but essential. The built environment is where our lives unfold - where we live, work, study, visit, and play. Climate targets cannot be achieved without action to tackle this sector, since the built environment is responsible for approximately 40% of greenhouse gas emissions globally and resilience risks such as extreme heat and flooding in cities.
