The International Trade Administration (ITA) is part of the U.S. government delegation to COP29 and our leaders, trade experts, and commercial diplomats are organizing and participating in events to elevate U.S. climate products, services and solutions, advocate for increased public-private sector collaboration, and seize opportunities for U.S. businesses to deepen commercial cooperation with our partners as we work collectively to combat and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Highlights include:
Bilateral and multilateral engagements with foreign counterparts to further international cooperation;
Meetings with U.S. and global companies and business councils on industry partnerships and investments; and
Panel sessions and roundtables on special topics to include climate adaptation and resilience, methane abatement, and clean energy supply chains.
Follow along with U.S. government COP29 activities happening on the ground in Baku in the U.S. Department of State’s U.S. Center. Run by the U.S. government, the U.S. Center is the official event space for showcasing U.S. climate leadership at COP29 and U.S. Center events will be livestreamed and posted on YouTube.

“U.S. companies are vital partners in combatting climate change and remain committed to investing in and deploying climate solutions that can help our trading partners meet global climate ambitions. I am proud to lead the ITA delegation at COP 29 to showcase U.S. industry innovation, advance public-private sector coordination, and deepen commercial cooperation with our global partners, including Azerbaijan, to enhance ambition and enable action towards achieving our climate goals.”
