ISO at COP27: standards for climate action
Sharm El-Sheikh - Egypt
6-18 November 2022
International standards are a critical tool for transforming climate commitments into effective action. ISO and its members will be taking part in COP27 to showcase how standards can contribute to the implementation of international and national climate policies.
Shared priorities: collaboration, mitigation, adaptation, and finance
The priorities set for COP27 by the host, as well as COP27's overarching theme, Together for implementation, resonate strongly with ISO's vision for international standards supporting climate action. ISO will encourage international and national decision-makers to engage further with ISO and its members on these priorities: collaboration, climate change mitigation, adaptation and sustainable finance.
Fostering collaborative climate action
Collaboration is at the heart of what ISO does. Our delegation at COP27 will be strengthening and exploring partnerships with a view to build on existing climate aligned standards and inspire new ones. Policy makers as well as non-state actors interested in knowing more about the role of standards in climate action or willing to contribute their expertise to ISO's work are invited to meet us there.

ISO standards in climate action
Standards help quantify and optimize measures against climate change.
How do ISO standards help organizations and communities become climate-resilient? This brochure introduces the ISO 1409x series designed to assess the impacts of climate change and put in place measures for effective adaptation.
How are greenhouse gas emissions, especially CO2, reduced with the help of ISO standards? This brochure describes the standards in the ISO 1406x series and how these advance the transition to a zero-carbon economy.
