13:00 BRT / 17:00 CET — Breaking Silos for Net Zero Energy

Around the world, the energy transition is increasingly defined not by individual technologies or sectors, but by the ability to think and act at the systems level. New paradigms are emerging where traditional boundaries between industries, public utilities, and other actors are displaced by partnerships and cooperation, allowing waste streams, infrastructure, and innovation to unlock new efficiencies. 

This panel will explore how cross-organization collaboration is reshaping the path to net zero, drawing on models from the data center boom, Stockholm’s de-siloed heat and electricity networks, and China’s nationwide push for next-generation distributed grids. The bottom line is that synergy is the key to progress. 

Bringing together perspectives from the energy sector, industry, tech, and policy, the discussion will examine how breaking down silos—across industries, borders, and regulatory frameworks—is necessary to align innovation and infrastructure for a sustainable, interconnected future.

13:30 BRT / 17:30 CET — #BuyMoreTime: Methane Action – The climate emergency brake

As the world watches the 1.5°C goal drift beyond reach, the need for solutions that can rapidly curb rising temperatures is acute. One of the most powerful levers we have is also one of the most overlooked: methane.

Methane traps far more heat than CO₂, but it doesn’t linger nearly as long. That means slashing methane emissions can deliver a rapid cooling effect—buying precious time to strengthen resilience and fully decarbonize the global economy. For companies and investors seeking to make a measurable, near-term impact, methane reductions are among the most effective actions available today.

However, to unlock this potential, credible methodologies and high-integrity standards are essential. Robust measurement, verification, and certification systems ensure that every tonne of methane reduced translates into real, additional, and verifiable climate impact.

Join us for a conversation on how collaboration between standard-setters, project developers, investors, and policymakers can accelerate methane mitigation worldwide: what’s being done to scale credible action, how integrity frameworks fit into corporate sustainability and investment strategies, and why a global agreement on methane, underpinned by trusted methodologies, is essential to keeping climate hopes alive.

14:45 BRT / 18:45 CET — Talking heat decarbonisation with Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen

In 2023, space and water heating made up nearly 78% of household energy consumption and half of Europe’s overall energy demand. Yet the sector still relies heavily on imported fossil fuels.

Across Europe, change is underway as renewable heat, waste heat recovery and electrification reshape how we warm and cool our homes and industries. The EU’s upcoming heating and cooling strategy marks a turning point and offers a chance to unlock the full potential of district heating and cooling, a technological flagship made in Europe.

The stakes are high. Ensuring comfortable homes, a competitive industry and freedom from fossil imports all depend on smart, integrated and local clean energy systems.

Do not miss our exclusive interview with Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen and Catarina Rolfsdotter, exploring the future of Europe’s heating decarbonisation.

To meet global climate and development goals, the UN Environment Programme warns that we must triple investments in forests by 2030. Reforestation is more than a carbon solution — it’s a pathway to resilient economies, thriving ecosystems, and empowered communities.

This COP30 broadcast brings together global leaders, innovators, and activists to explore how to mobilize both communities and capital to restore the planet’s forests at scale. Together, they’ll reveal how nature restoration can unite people across ideologies, industries, and continents to transform ambition into action now.

14:00 BRT / 18:00 CET — An Inclusive Energy Transition: The Role of Energy Communities

The energy transition has to be not only clean, but also just and inclusive. Energy poverty is a big problem in many parts of the world, and this cannot be solved by simply adding more renewable energy to the system. Energy communities can provide socio-economic benefits for citizens, by capping or lowering energy bills for members during crises, affordable home upgrades, putting in place measures to increase gender inclusiveness, or sharing surplus electricity with vulnerable households for free.

In this fifth episode of Energy Efficiency First, we will dive deeper into the role energy communities play in empowering local communities in clean energy production while making energy access more inclusive and equitable.

November 20

9:50 BRT / 13:50 CET — Stand with Courage

What kind of courage does our time demand, and how can we learn from history?

Guided by co-creator Sandrine Dixson-Declève, the film series “Stand with Courage” weaves three narrative strands: a personal retracing of her grandfather Bernard’s resistance and survival under Nazi occupation; intergenerational encounters with “the grandchildren” of Europe’s founding and resistance movements; and living conversations with students, citizens, and thinkers culminating at the House of Jean Monnet. Across Brussels, Bruges, and Houjarray, France - testimonies and archives meet street-level dialogue as the films move from memory (Part 1) to rebuilding and shared interests (Part 2), to moral courage and civic leadership (Part 3), and finally to a collective European vision (Part 4).

Join us for this special opening on We Don’t Have Time’s Democracy Day with Sandrine Dixson-Declève and filmmaker Carl Eneroth.

12:30 BRT / 16:30 CET — Protecting Democracy: Public discourse and science in turbulent times

Access to reliable information is a prerequisite for democracy. 
But currently, both democracy and science are under attack. In 2024 alone, 45 countries experienced democratic backsliding. This decline is reflected not only in restrictions on media freedom and the harassment of journalists, but also in citizens’ shrinking ability to discuss politics openly in the public sphere.

Simultaneously, science and scientists around the world are facing growing threats. Ideological agendas are undermining research, academic freedom, and funding. Misinformation and attacks on scientists are spreading on platforms intended for open debate.

Join us as we discuss these threats — and how to reverse the trend — with journalists, scientists, politicians, and members of civil society from around the world.

11:25 BRT / 15:25 CET — Science Briefings: Putting Science at the Center of COP30

Science is at the heart of the climate movement, but the crucial work of researchers and analysts is under threat: Right at the moment we most need a clear, rational, data-driven understanding of our warming world, hostile political shifts are attacking our truth-seeking institutions. 

That’s why we’re opening our COP30 broadcast with a lineup that embodies science, truth, and action. Join us as we hear from Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Daniela Chiaretti, Claudio Angelo, Isobel Bruce, and Richard Folland, where they will break down what’s really happening to our planet, what must change now, and how COP30 will define climate action for years to come.

When truth becomes a threat, science becomes resistance. Join the movement to Make Science Great Again.

13:00 BRT / 17:00 CET — Breaking Silos for Net Zero Energy

13:00 BRT / 17:00 CET — Breaking Silos for Net Zero Energy

Around the world, the energy transition is increasingly defined not by individual technologies or sectors, but by the ability to think and act at the systems level. New paradigms are emerging where traditional boundaries between industries, public utilities, and other actors are displaced by partnerships and cooperation, allowing waste streams, infrastructure, and innovation to unlock new efficiencies. 

This panel will explore how cross-organization collaboration is reshaping the path to net zero, drawing on models from the data center boom, Stockholm’s de-siloed heat and electricity networks, and China’s nationwide push for next-generation distributed grids. The bottom line is that synergy is the key to progress. 

Bringing together perspectives from the energy sector, industry, tech, and policy, the discussion will examine how breaking down silos—across industries, borders, and regulatory frameworks—is necessary to align innovation and infrastructure for a sustainable, interconnected future.

13:30 BRT / 17:30 CET — #BuyMoreTime: Methane Action – The climate emergency brake

13:30 BRT / 17:30 CET — #BuyMoreTime: Methane Action – The climate emergency brake

As the world watches the 1.5°C goal drift beyond reach, the need for solutions that can rapidly curb rising temperatures is acute. One of the most powerful levers we have is also one of the most overlooked: methane.

Methane traps far more heat than CO₂, but it doesn’t linger nearly as long. That means slashing methane emissions can deliver a rapid cooling effect—buying precious time to strengthen resilience and fully decarbonize the global economy. For companies and investors seeking to make a measurable, near-term impact, methane reductions are among the most effective actions available today.

However, to unlock this potential, credible methodologies and high-integrity standards are essential. Robust measurement, verification, and certification systems ensure that every tonne of methane reduced translates into real, additional, and verifiable climate impact.

Join us for a conversation on how collaboration between standard-setters, project developers, investors, and policymakers can accelerate methane mitigation worldwide: what’s being done to scale credible action, how integrity frameworks fit into corporate sustainability and investment strategies, and why a global agreement on methane, underpinned by trusted methodologies, is essential to keeping climate hopes alive.

14:45 BRT / 18:45 CET — Talking heat decarbonisation with Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen

14:45 BRT / 18:45 CET — Talking heat decarbonisation with Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen

In 2023, space and water heating made up nearly 78% of household energy consumption and half of Europe’s overall energy demand. Yet the sector still relies heavily on imported fossil fuels.

Across Europe, change is underway as renewable heat, waste heat recovery and electrification reshape how we warm and cool our homes and industries. The EU’s upcoming heating and cooling strategy marks a turning point and offers a chance to unlock the full potential of district heating and cooling, a technological flagship made in Europe.

The stakes are high. Ensuring comfortable homes, a competitive industry and freedom from fossil imports all depend on smart, integrated and local clean energy systems.

14:00 BRT / 18:00 CET — Energy Efficiency On Demand: Scaling Implementation With Energy Efficiency as a Service

Europe’s industries and SMEs are cutting waste, saving costs, and decarbonizing through efficiency—can these solutions go global? The Energy Efficiency as a Service model aims to develop and deploy new business models offering energy efficiency as a service to SMEs. By paying for the use of energy-efficient equipment instead of buying it new, more companies can reduce their energy use and, thereby, their emissions

Join this fourth episode of Energy Efficiency First with key voices from the Energy Efficiency as a Service project on how this can help more efficiency solutions reach the market faster.

13:30 BRT / 17:30 CET — Driving Energy & Climate Innovation Ahead of COP30

Meet policymakers and business leaders for a crucial discussion on how to implement and fund the energy transition.‍

COP30 comes at a crucial moment. As we are on track to overshoot the 1.5°C target, parties are urged to submit updated and more ambitious national climate plans (NDCs). It is more important than ever to look to rapid and efficient climate solutions.‍

The energy sector can lead the way. The technology is there, as is the know-how. Now, funding is needed to unlock implementation at scale. In this webinar, we unwrap how the energy industry can meet the goals to triple renewable energy generation and double energy efficiency progress by 2030. How do we turn pledges into partnerships?

12:30 BRT / 16:30 CET — Green Skills — The Human Key to Unlock the Climate Transition

How should the workforce develop to accelerate the green transition? Hear from Efrem Bycer, Head of Workforce and Climate Policy Partnerships at LinkedIn, who will share the latest insights from the 2025 LinkedIn Green Skills Report. Joining online, Efrem Bycer will then participate in our panel discussion on the growing need for green skills, featuring Matilda Uusijärvi, Project Manager from the Swedish union TCO, and Caroline Nordvall, General Secretary for The Network for Sustainable Business in Sweden. Both in the Stockholm studio.

TCO’s recent survey of more than 3,200 Swedish professionals’ views on the need for green skills and lifelong learning shows that Swedish professionals are ready for change and see the transition as an opportunity rather than a threat.

The Network for Sustainable Business in Sweden is the leading network gathering 200 sustainability professionals in Sweden, sharing insíghts and solutions in order to speed up the transition.

What does this mean for employers and employees? And how can HR play a stronger role in supporting the needed transition?

14:00 BRT / 18:00 CET — An Inclusive Energy Transition: The Role of Energy Communities

14:00 BRT / 18:00 CET — An Inclusive Energy Transition: The Role of Energy Communities

The energy transition has to be not only clean, but also just and inclusive. Energy poverty is a big problem in many parts of the world, and this cannot be solved by simply adding more renewable energy to the system. Energy communities can provide socio-economic benefits for citizens, by capping or lowering energy bills for members during crises, affordable home upgrades, putting in place measures to increase gender inclusiveness, or sharing surplus electricity with vulnerable households for free.

In this fifth episode of Energy Efficiency First, we will dive deeper into the role energy communities play in empowering local communities in clean energy production while making energy access more inclusive and equitable.

November 20

9:50 BRT / 13:50 CET — Stand with Courage

What kind of courage does our time demand, and how can we learn from history?

Guided by co-creator Sandrine Dixson-Declève, the film series “Stand with Courage” weaves three narrative strands: a personal retracing of her grandfather Bernard’s resistance and survival under Nazi occupation; intergenerational encounters with “the grandchildren” of Europe’s founding and resistance movements; and living conversations with students, citizens, and thinkers culminating at the House of Jean Monnet. Across Brussels, Bruges, and Houjarray, France - testimonies and archives meet street-level dialogue as the films move from memory (Part 1) to rebuilding and shared interests (Part 2), to moral courage and civic leadership (Part 3), and finally to a collective European vision (Part 4).

Join us for this special opening on We Don’t Have Time’s Democracy Day with Sandrine Dixson-Declève and filmmaker Carl Eneroth.

12:30 BRT / 16:30 CET — Protecting Democracy: Public discourse and science in turbulent times

12:30 BRT / 16:30 CET — Protecting Democracy: Public discourse and science in turbulent times

Access to reliable information is a prerequisite for democracy. 
But currently, both democracy and science are under attack. In 2024 alone, 45 countries experienced democratic backsliding. This decline is reflected not only in restrictions on media freedom and the harassment of journalists, but also in citizens’ shrinking ability to discuss politics openly in the public sphere.

Simultaneously, science and scientists around the world are facing growing threats. Ideological agendas are undermining research, academic freedom, and funding. Misinformation and attacks on scientists are spreading on platforms intended for open debate.

Join us as we discuss these threats — and how to reverse the trend — with journalists, scientists, politicians, and members of civil society from around the world.

The Planetary Science Pavilion is a flagship platform ensuring that science drives the COP30 agenda. In close partnership with the COP30 Presidency, it anchors negotiations and implementation in planetary science, bridging research, policy, and action.

The Pavilion fosters collaboration among scientists, policymakers, Indigenous leaders, Heads of State, and the public, promoting interdisciplinary exchange that links global development to Earth’s stability. Through clear, coordinated communication and media engagement, it advances the Presidency’s vision and provides a shared space to identify priorities, risks, and opportunities through a whole-Earth lens.

Serving as a trusted scientific reference point at COP30, the Pavilion curates critical research and solutions, celebrates Brazilian and global excellence in modern and ancestral science, and highlights the Amazon and the Three Basins as vital to planetary balance.
