United Nation’s (UN) annual climate conference (COP) started in Bonn, Germany on Monday. The conference will be attended by more than 20,000 delegates. Fortum participates both in the conference and Sustainable Innovation Forum 2017 – the largest side event organised by Climate Action and UN Environment.

Kari Kankaanpää, Fortum’s Senior Manager, Climate Affairs, will be joining the delegation of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) during the second week of the COP23.

“Fortum is strongly committed to climate change mitigation and actions towards a cleaner world. As a leading clean-energy company we want to be involved in COP where policy makers, regulators, commerce and industry and civil society meet. We see the conference as an excellent opportunity to take part in the discussion on global climate and energy policy,” says Kari Kankaanpää.

Fortum one of the main partners of the Sustainable Innovation Forum 2017
Sustainable Innovation Forum (SIF) will take place in Bonn on 13 – 14 November. SIF is the largest business-focused side event during COP23 and is expected to gather together over 600 participants.

Pekka Lundmark, Fortum’s President and CEO, will be joining the opening panel of the Forum on Accelerating the Energy Transition on 13 November, together with representatives of Siemens, Orsted and ministers from Norway and Scotland.

In addition, Fortum has an exhibition stand in SIF showcasing the clean energy solutions, presenting Fortum’s climate and energy policy messages and offering an opportunity to network with the experts.

“The recent reports on climate change by the scientific community are alarming and show the urgency of measures needed to combat climate change. We need to speed up the transition to a low-carbon electricity system, to improve the resource efficiency and to promote the circular economy. The three most important challenges for all energy producers at the moment are decarbonisation, security of supply and affordability,” says Pekka Lundmark.
