Why attent COP29?
COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan (11–22 November 2024) is not just another conference – it’s a defining milestone for global climate action and the final push before the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
The world’s attention will be focused on setting the stage for more ambitious climate commitments. Sweden is ready to lead this moment.

Sweden's climate action agenda
Sustainability and innovation are part of Sweden’s DNA. Sweden was the first country in the world to pass an environmental protection act, the first to host the United Nations conference on the environment in 1972, and one of the first countries to introduce a carbon tax.
But that is just the beginning of the journey. Today, Sweden's goal is to become the world's first fossil fuel-free welfare nation while scaling its climate solutions globally.
While policymakers have set the direction of the green transition, the private sector has taken climate policy and turned it into business practice; working collaboratively to pioneer the possible and impact change on a global scale.
To accelerate this transformation, Sweden is utilising three keys to unlock the full potential of the green transition: innovation, policy, and finance.
Innovation
We have innovative solutions bold enough to make a real difference
Policy
We are pushing for policies that will move us from dialogue to action, within the planetary boundaries.
Finance
We have a variety of financial systems distributing capital to climate solutions
Why Business Sweden?
Mandated to support the Swedish government's climate targets, Business Sweden leads the way in aiding Swedish and international companies to invest and collaborate, both in Sweden and globally. We take pride in fostering partnerships and serving as a liaison between global climate challenges and innovative solutions, accelerating companies and countries in their transition journeys.
