In a joint statement, the Co-Chairs, Hon.Matia Kasaija, H.E. Eelco Heinen, and H.E. Tomislav ฤoriฤ, underscored that the transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient economies represents both a defining global challenge and a significant opportunity for growth, investment, and job creation.
They further stressed that transition-related and resilience-enhancing opportunities arise from both the transformation toward clean energy and low-carbon technologies and from adaptation investments that strengthen resilience to climate impacts.
Together, these dynamics can create new sources of growth, jobs, and investment, while making economies more stable, secure, and less exposed to external shocks.
