GEFI’s Path to COP28 campaign is the first finance-focused campaign for COP28, and we are committed to making finance work for COP28, and COP28 work for finance.
Within the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine building on Glasgow’s momentum has proved to be challenging. Whilst we expect COP27 to further enhance the scope of deliverables around mitigation, adaptation, finance, loss and damage, at GEFI, we are looking ahead to COP28 as the next key milestone in terms of measuring progress. With finance now firmly embedded on the COP agenda we will build upon our successful Path to COP26 campaign to ensure the finance sector takes decisive action ahead of COP28.
Our Path to COP28 campaign will seek to encourage and support financial institutions to transition from commitment to implementation, measurement and reporting. Through our 12 year+ expertise in ethical finance, established platforms and projects, GCC knowledge and strong global network our Path to COP28 campaign will bring together stakeholders from across finance and beyond to drive climate action before, during and after COP28.
Our Plans
The Path to COP28 will be launched in Dubai late October 2022. The following 12 months will include a range of round tables, conferences, webinars, hackathons, workshops, media and research clustered around our 4 workstreams:
Delivering Net Zero
Financing Nature & Biodiversity
Unlocking Islamic Finance
Financing the SDGs
COP26

The campaign was focused around 4 key workstreams:
- Adam Smith at the COP
- Finance for Nature
