COP29: A Look Back at the Canada Pavilion

GLOBE was thrilled to be part of the Canada Pavilion Event Management Team at the 29th Conference of the Parties (COP29) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in Baku, Azerbaijan.

From November 11-21, 2024, Canada’s pavilion showcased the country’s diverse climate leadership on the world stage, hosting over 60 events and offering a networking hub for key partners and stakeholders.
