BSR at COP29
COP29 will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan from November 11-22, bringing together business, government, and civil society actors at a critical moment for people and the planet.
Unofficially named the “finance COP,” the conference’s main aims are to establish a post-2025 global climate finance goal, to galvanize countries to deliver ambitious nationally determined contributions (NDCs) in 2025, and to begin implementing previous decisions on topics like loss and damage, finance, and adaptation.
Business has an important role to play at COP29 in advocating for ambitious NDCs. In turn, these same NDCs are critical in driving business to deliver on their climate goals. Furthermore, the private sector can play a pivotal role in ensuring finance flows where it’s needed most.
Join BSR at COP29, where we will be focused on advancing business action on the Just Transition, Climate Transition Plans, Corporate Adaptation Plans, and 1.5°C value chains.

Unpacking Remedy: A Practical Workshop for Business Practitioners
The third pillar of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) states that individuals whose rights are harmed by business must have access to remedy. Despite 10 years of implementation of the UNGPs by companies and states alike, the remedy pillar remains largely undeveloped and under-fulfilled. There is little practical guidance on how to provide effective remedy—including a lack of tools on how to measure effectiveness—and few public case studies, limiting the ability to learn from others and advance the field.
