Empowering and Equipping People to Accelerate Progress

Today, COP30 shines a light on a people-powered transition — where work, learning, and culture drive a fair and resilient future. The day opens with the launch of the Global Initiative on Jobs & Skills for the New Economy, unveiling its first Flagship Report and Action Agenda to help countries and industries create decent jobs and training opportunities along their transition paths.

Discussions on Indigenous Adaptation highlight locally led solutions and innovative models for direct financing, while the Asset Owners Summit gathers major investors to align capital with climate goals. Sessions on information integrity and culture explore how narratives and values shape collective action. Throughout the day, one message stands out: real climate action starts with people — their skills, creativity, and determination to build a livable future for all.
