The Sustainable Innovation Forum 2023 is hosted by Climate Action and held in the Innovation Zone from December 4-5, 2023. SIF23 unites sustainability leaders from business, government, finance, and civil society to create the leading multi-stakeholder event during COP28. Bentley Systems is a Supporting Partner and Rodrigo Fernandes is a featured conference speaker.
The Blue Zone is a UNFCCC managed site, open to accredited party and observer delegates. It hosts the formal negotiations across the two weeks of the conference, as well as the World Climate Action Summit, the country pavilions, presidency events, and hundreds of side events including panel discussions, round tables, and cultural events.
The Green Zone is open to delegates and guests of the Blue Zone, Public and Private Sector, NGOs and the General Public.
Further information regarding access to programmed or ticketed events will be shared once finalized and tickets will be available through the COP28 UAE website.

Infrastructure professionals are leading the effort to decarbonize and climate-proof our infrastructure on a scale and pace never seen before. Yet they face multiple obstacles, from engineering resource capacity shortfalls to challenges in aligning the information and teams necessary for success.
It’s time to reimagine what’s possible by leveraging data for better and more resilient infrastructure. Through innovations like AI-powered infrastructure digital twins, we can accelerate the digital and sustainable transitions necessary for climate action.
Since no one company or organization can address these challenges alone, Bentley will join with governments, businesses, and civil society at COP28 to discuss how we can address key issues, such as:
1
Built infrastructure is responsible for more than 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and 75% of the infrastructure required by 2050 still needs to be built. Existing and new infrastructure must be designed, built, and operated with sustainability and resilience in mind.
2
The energy industry is undergoing one the largest industrial transitions in modern history. Understanding the earth and its subsurface are indispensable for making clear, confident decisions to accelerate clean energy production, transmission, and distribution and aid the shift to net zero.
3
The global population is expected to increase by 2 billion over the next 30 years. Digitization is essential to effectively plan and deliver the sustainable infrastructure and services necessary to ensure urban resilience, climate adaptation, inclusive cities, and residents’ well-being.
4
In many ways, climate change is water change, as it affects water quantity, quality, and availability. Integrated urban water management and water system modernization can help communities improve access to clean water and sanitation and minimize climate change effects such as water scarcity and floods.
