SUMMARY:Climate & Impact Summit
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is reshaping the world in irreversible ways. 
 Record-breaking heat, catastrophic flooding, biodiversity co
 llapse and water scarcity putting the systems that sustain l
 ife under ever-growing strain. Global food supply chains are
  destabilising, and natural carbon sinks — forests, wetlands
 , permafrost — are beginning to emit more carbon than they a
 bsorb. On top of this, the Arctic Ocean is on track to see i
 ts first ice-free day before 2030.\n\nTo meet the goals of t
 he Paris Agreement, and limit the average temperature rise i
 n this century to below 2 degrees Celsius, global emissions 
 must fall 43 per cent by 2030. Yet this transformation must 
 take place in economies still largely reliant on fossil fuel
 s, and at a time when global electricity demand is projected
  to double by 2050. There is progress. In 2024, clean electr
 icity surpassed 40 per cent of global power generation — led
  by solar, now the cheapest source of electricity in history
  — and levels of  investment in the energy transition exceed
 ed $2tn for the first time.\n\nBut, today, climate action re
 quires more than emissions targets. In an era of weakened in
 stitutions and rising geopolitical instability, businesses m
 ust help uphold the core principles — accountability, transp
 arency, the rule of law — that will help balance climate res
 ilience with economic priorities. This year, the FT’s Climat
 e & Impact Summit combines the insights of the FT’s Moral Mo
 ney and Climate Capital teams to host practical discussions 
 on the scale of the crises we face — and the opportunity we 
 still have to shape a fairer and more sustainable society.\n
