Climate & Sustainability

Research shows that 2023 was the warmest year recorded, and global greenhouse gas levels and natural disasters are increasing. According to the United Nations, as more countries are pledging to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, it is crucial to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 to mitigate the severe impacts of climate change. To secure a more sustainable future, nations and corporations must invest in climate action. The energy transition is a critical driving force in our ability to achieve ambitious sustainability goals set by global governments, multilaterals, and NGOs. Serving as a trusted partner, BCIU actively contributes to solving this challenge by facilitating dialogue, cooperation and action across sectors and regions, unlocking the power of partnerships, and accelerating progress toward critical environmental objectives. In addition to the energy transition, our sustainability programming areas of focus include: decarbonization, adaptation, climate finance, plastics and circularity, critical minerals, Scope 3 emissions, supply chain sustainability, the expansion of hydrogen solutions, and upskilling for the green economy.
