The “2024 ESG Global Leaders Conference” was held in Shanghai from October 16 to 18. International Monetary Fund Managing Director Georgieva gave a speech. Georgieva said that if the goal of “keeping global warming within 2 degrees Celsius” is achieved, global greenhouse gas emissions will need to be reduced by 50% by 2030. Unfortunately, the promises that have been made so far will only reduce global emissions by 12%. Therefore, she called for higher emission reduction targets for 2030 and ensure that the world has the necessary mechanisms to continuously and drastically cut emissions — by more than 7% per year over the next ten years.
