Global CEO Alliance (GCEOA) was represented by its Chairman, James Donovan, at the Healthy Planet Action Coalition (HPAC)’s Global Heating Conference, which brought together global experts and leaders to examine the accelerating risks of global heating and their implications for financial stability and corporate responsibility.

The dialogue highlighted the urgent need for collective action across sectors to safeguard an insurable, investable, and stable future. As discussions underscored, addressing climate risk is not only an environmental imperative but also a cornerstone of economic resilience and sustainable development.

🌍 The Global CEO Alliance supports the Healthy Planet Action Coalition (HPAC) as it brings together scientists, policymakers, and global citizens for “The Global Heating Emergency: Preventing 2°C by 2040 – What’s the Plan?”, taking place online on October 15–16, 2025.

The conference will explore why global temperatures are accelerating, what this means for humanity, and what immediate, practical steps can be taken to prevent catastrophic heating.

⏳ The world is nearing the 2°C threshold. Through science-based collaboration and global commitment, we can still slow global heating and safeguard a sustainable future for all.
