Hosted by ISO in partnership with leading standards organizations worldwide, the Standards Pavilion highlights how harmonized International Standards:
- Support governments in delivering Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and adaptation plans.
- Provide businesses with trusted frameworks to ensure recognition, credibility, and accountability through transparent, verifiable sustainability practices.
- Foster cohesion between planning, action and reporting on climate initiatives across sectors and regions, ensuring climate action is credible and accountable.
