Este año se llevó a cabo el primer análisis de la aplicación del Acuerdo de París, conocido como el “Global Stocktake” (balance mundial en español), que concluyó en la COP28 con un acuerdo final consensuado por los casi 200 países que participaron en la Conferencia. El Global Stocktake es un proceso de dos años que tiene lugar cada cinco, con el objetivo de evaluar el progreso colectivo hacia la consecución de los objetivos climáticos.
El acuerdo alcanzado describe el compromiso de dejar atrás los combustibles fósiles de forma justa, ordenada y equitativa para lograr las cero emisiones en 2050.
Para impulsar y amplificar la voz empresarial, desde el Clúster de Cambio Climático de Forética hemos seguido los avances de la Cumbre, participando presencialmente y virtualmente en los distintos encuentros, y hemos contribuido al ambicioso programa de acción para la COP28 de nuestro partner World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) y otras organizaciones de referencia en el ámbito climático.
“Forética, en representación de nuestros más de 200 miembros en España, acude a la COP28 con el objetivo de impulsar la ambición empresarial hacia las cero emisiones netas, reconociendo al mismo tiempo la importancia primordial de la naturaleza y las personas en esta transición. Reconocemos firmemente que preservar y restaurar la naturaleza es esencial para la biodiversidad y la resiliencia de los ecosistemas y el bienestar y la prosperidad de las comunidades de todo el mundo”.
Germán Granda, Director General de Forética
¿Qué es la COP?
La COP es la conferencia anual de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) sobre el cambio climático. Se conoce como la “Conferencia de las Partes” y reúne a líderes mundiales, ministros y negociadores para acordar cómo hacer frente al cambio climático. Las partes negociadoras son los gobiernos que han firmado el UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), el Protocolo de Kioto y/o el Acuerdo de París.
A las COP también asisten miles de representantes de la sociedad civil, el sector privado, las organizaciones internacionales y los medios de comunicación. Este año, se estima que participaran más de 70.000 delegados, representando a más de 197 países.
Desde 2015, las COP han girado en torno a cómo aplicar el Acuerdo de París, que tiene tres objetivos principales:
- Mantener el aumento de la temperatura media mundial “muy por debajo” de 2º C y proseguir los esfuerzos para limitar el aumento a 1,5º C por encima de los niveles preindustriales.
- Adaptarse al cambio climático y aumentar la resiliencia.
- Alinear los flujos de financiación con “una senda hacia bajas emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y un desarrollo resiliente al clima”.
A continuación, presentamos los principales contenidos generados en torno a la COP desde la perspectiva de las empresas. Enfrentamos un momento crítico para dar un paso adelante en la agenda de desarrollo sostenible, aumentando la ambición, acelerando la acción y potenciando las alianzas que impulsen una profunda transformación de los sistemas en el actual contexto de emergencia climática.

What we expect from COP28
Leadership to accelerate
When companies share a common agenda, they can reach across the entire value chain, and when that agenda is forward-looking , ambitious and optimistic, it can drive the transformation of entire systems. Vision 2050 provides companies with this shared vision.
It defines the world we want to create and establishes the roadmap and actions that will make it a reality. Companies lead by unequivocally recognizing the urgent need for change, defending the facts that support this urgency, and being open and realistic about the necessary transformations ahead.
Systems thinking will be at the foundation of progress toward our Vision. It will open eyes to the macro trends, disruptions and innovations that shape the world in which companies operate; to the risks to resilience and future profits; and to the dependence of companies on the stability and success of other industries and institutions, communities and ecosystems.
Systems thinking will drive us to be both bold and humble, confident that we can transform systems to achieve a more sustainable world, with a clear vision of the partnerships on which progress will depend.
Our current systems will not achieve a world in which more than 9 billion people can live well, within the limits of the planet. We have to change our mindset: about the purpose of business, about what it means to be resilient, and about how we can operate regeneratively rather than destructively.
These transformation paths demand the adaptation of our sectors, providing companies with the keys to mitigate transition risks, reduce the costs of change and safeguard the capacity for long-term value creation. Sustainability becomes the key to the success of organizations in the future.
