Collective action is required

Many individual countries and businesses, including Nokia, have committed to their own sustainability targets. These are important, but the scale of action required means collective action is also required.

We need ways to accelerate and scale sustainability efforts, helping all industries and society to strive towards net zero. In that spirit, Nokia was present at a series of events hosted by other organizations during the COP 28 period (Thu, Nov 30  2023 – Tue, Dec 12  2023).

Below is a non-exhaustive list of some of those events.
