Shared priorities: inclusion, finance, technology and innovation
The priorities set for COP28 by the host, as well as COP28's overarching theme, Unite, Act, Deliver, resonate strongly with ISO's vision for international standards supporting climate action. ISO will encourage international and national decision-makers to engage further with ISO and its members on these priorities: collaboration, mitigation, adaptation and sustainable finance.
Fostering collaborative climate action
Collaboration is at the heart of what ISO does. Our delegation at COP28 will be strengthening and exploring partnerships with a view to build on existing climate aligned standards and inspire new ones. Policy makers as well as non-state actors interested in knowing more about the role of standards in climate action or willing to contribute their expertise to ISO's work are invited to meet us there.
