Editing COP29 Climate Conference (section)

=== The Role of the Private Sector and Civil Society ===
While governments are the main actors at COP conferences, the role of the '''private sector''' and '''civil society''' has grown in importance over the years. Businesses, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other stakeholders are key to driving innovation, raising awareness, and holding governments accountable for their climate commitments. COP29 will likely see a significant presence from these groups, advocating for stronger action and presenting solutions that can help achieve climate goals.

The '''finance industry''', in particular, will play a crucial role. As countries seek ways to fund the transition to a green economy, private investment in clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, and climate-resilient projects is essential.
