The United Nations Conference on Climate Change<\/a>, called COP, held its twenty-fourth meeting from December 2 to 14 in Katowice (Poland), which saw the participation of Valent\u00edn Alfaya, director of Quality, Prevention, and Environment, and Ana Pe\u00f1a, head of Quality, Environment, and Climate Change at Ferrovial.<\/p>\n

This year’s conference was held with the goal of establishing the bases for an economic model free of carbon, thereby permitting the application of the Paris Accord. The list of topics discussed varied widely, including: transparency, adaptation, mitigation, “facilitative or Talanoa dialogue,” reducing emissions, funding, and the creation and transfer of capability and technology.<\/p>\n

COP 24 came to a close after the deadline since the agreement was signed a day after it ended, given that there were many difficulties in finding common ground among all the countries. In the end, the agreement\u2019s main points are: a fair transition towards a low-carbon economy, a call for Talanoa Dialogue, regulations for verifying follow-up on commitments, funding, and a follow-up system for the Transparency Framework of the Paris Accord.<\/p>\n

After COP24 ended, Valent\u00edn Alfaya remarked that:<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

\n We are clearly not moving forward quickly enough to mitigate the effects of climate change that scientists are predicting. So the only other option is accelerating the transition towards a low-carbon economy, which will also offer significant opportunities for businesses like ours. <\/blockquote>\n\n
