COP28 Mission

The 28th session of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP28) is the most important meeting to address climate change and its impacts on the economic, environmental, and social spheres. The conference has been held since 1995, bringing together leaders from nearly 200 countries.

COP28 issued a call to multilateral development banks to demonstrate ‘greater ambition’ and work more swiftly to tackle climate financing and development challenges, urging action at COP28, especially in the following areas:

  • Accelerating the energy transition
  • Adjusting climate financing
  • Focusing on nature, people, lives, and livelihoods
  • Full inclusion

Why MYR?

Recognized throughout Brazil for its excellence in carrying out relevant work for public and private, national and transnational institutions, MYR has ISO 9001:2015 certification and a robust Integrity and Compliance Program, globally attesting to its commitment to quality management and best practices.

To speak of development is to consider (in addition to the goal of each enterprise and its business) the impacts that its actions generate in the social, cultural, economic and environmental areas.

Therefore, we are committed to our customers’ goals, based on social and environmental gains for communities and the development of a new economy. #BetterCities
