Lombard Odier at COP28: the re-NATURE hub

During 2015’s landmark COP21 in Paris, the international community agreed to mitigate global warming by slashing net global emissions to zero by 2050. To stay on track to achieve that goal, we will need to have achieved a 50% reduction by 2030.

With just seven years left to reach that milestone, COP28 has been positioned as an opportunity to assess how we’re doing, re-energise the climate agenda, and re-focus priorities, so we can bridge any gaps on the road to halving emissions by the end of the decade.
 

At the centre of all this will be the shift in energy production from fossil fuels to carbon-free alternatives. Meanwhile, special consideration will be given to vulnerable countries with limited resources, so we can ensure these nations have the solutions they need to reduce their emissions without hindering their economic development. COP28 will be pivotal to our success, and may determine whether 2030 will be a year of concern or celebration.

a net-zero, nature-positive economy.

COP28 is a vital opportunity for global leaders in government, industry, academia, finance, and climate to come together to secure an accelerated plan of action capable of delivering a 50% reduction in global emissions by 2030. 

To support participants in their efforts, Lombard Odier will host the re-NATURE Hub, an exclusive convening and networking space for global leaders at COP28. Over two half-days, the re-NATURE Hub will present a series of high-level discussions, fireside chats, networking breaks, and taster sessions, where a range of distinctive, globally renowned voices will share their thoughts on the transitions of our Energy, Land & Oceans, Materials, and Carbon systems.

At Lombard Odier, we position ourselves to capture the investment opportunities surrounding the transition to a Circular, Lean, Inclusive, and Clean (CLIC^®) economy – an economy that puts nature at its centre. We believe that nature is the most transformative technology on Earth. Only healthy and resilient ecosystems can be effective carbon sinks at the scale needed, and biodiversity is the key measure of our planet’s health. Nature-based solutions, including the protection, restoration and sustainable management of our land systems, provide an opportunity for investors to diversify portfolios and minimise their portfolio climate-risk. Innovations in nature-based real assets will help investors realise green alpha while playing a key role in boosting biodiversity and driving the transition to a nature-positive economy.

COP28 is a chance for us to help galvanise action around nature-based solutions, food systems, industry decarbonisation, and infrastructure, while showing investors how developments in these areas will create a net-zero, socially just, nature-positive economy. Because nature is worth investing in.
