This week, we joined forces with the United Nations and regional business leaders to deliver a clear message: Gaza’s recovery depends on stronger private sector integration. At a high-level dialogue that we co-hosted with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), ICC Secretary General John W.H. Denton AO urged practical business engagement to complement humanitarian efforts and build lasting stability. Our dynamic and extensive global network is mobilised to help local #SMEs and #ChambersOfCommerce to re-engage in cross-border trade, establish the right conditions for investment, and rebuild the foundations of economic opportunity.

If climate ambition doesn’t turn into action in Belém, when will it? With the world’s largest climate conference on the horizon, Team ICC brought the voice of global business to the final high-level climate discussions with ministers in Brasília — setting out key priorities for a successful COP30 this November. At the Pre-COP Ministerial, we delivered a clear message: real climate progress demands governments and businesses work together to accelerate climate finance, enable investment, and scale solutions for a 1.5°C future.   This year in Belém, #COP30 must be the COP of implementation, cooperation, and real public–private collaboration.   Meanwhile, ICC Brasil rallied business leaders, experts, and government authorities to seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity to rewrite the climate playbook.

This week, we joined governments, businesses, and civil society at the Wilton Park high-level dialogue — co-hosted by the UK Government, the Palestinian Authority, and the Government of Egypt — to explore how private sector investment can help drive Gaza’s reconstruction.

Insights from this dialogue will inform the Cairo International Conference on Recovery, Reconstruction, and Development of Gaza this November, paving the way for tangible frameworks that can turn recovery into long-term peace and prosperity.
