UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has convened the UN Private Sector Forum during the opening session of the General Assembly since 2008, in order to allow the voice of the private sector to be heard in inter-governmental debates on key topics. This year, the UN Private Sector Forum will be held during the high-level luncheon of the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Summit. The theme of this year’s Forum will be carbon pricing, focusing on actions that the public and private sectors can take in order to achieve an equitable and fair valuation of carbon through long-term strategies, investments and policies. Convened by the UN Global Compact in close cooperation with the World Bank Group, and with the support of UN partners, the Private Sector Forum will provide a unique platform for Governments and businesses to demonstrate their leadership on climate change.
