It’s time to deliver the just transition at COP30

Next week, world leaders, industry, and policymakers will gather in Belém, Brazil, for COP30, the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference.

This year’s summit marks a critical moment in the global journey to net zero. The time for targets has passed. The focus is now on accelerating delivery.

From ambition to action

COP30 will challenge nations to show how ambition becomes action. The discussions and agreed actions will focus on practical progress, climate finance, energy systems, infrastructure, and industry. For Apollo, this is nothing new. We have been delivering real progress across all energies for years, with a track record built on practical engineering and collaboration.

Our teams operate across all energies, including oil and gas, renewables, hydrogen, and decarbonisation. We know that the just transition is not one path but many, connected through businesses, people, communities, design, engineering, and execution. Real progress happens when those paths connect and integrate.

Integration, not isolation

The just transition depends on connection between society, sectors, technologies, and policies. No single solution can deliver net zero. It requires integration of existing infrastructure, innovation, and investment that supports both.

That means repurposing what works, building what is needed, and designing and delivering the secure, affordable, low-carbon energy systems that businesses and communities need.

Your partner

At Apollo, we make strategy real. Our engineers and sustainability professional are helping clients repurpose offshore assets for hydrogen, design cost-effective floating wind solutions, and tackle the logistics of emerging fuels. We work with businesses to embed sustainability into their culture, business strategy and infrastructure projects. Every project builds on the one before it, creating a sustainable energy system that lasts.

We share the goals of COP30 – rapid practical progress, collaboration, and a just transition. These are the principles that define why we exist, how we work and what we do.

A word from Ryan Menzies, Director at Apollo

“COP30 is about rapid action. We must do more, and faster. At Apollo, we have seen first-hand that the barriers lie in delivery, in grid connections, consenting, repurposing infrastructure and decarbonising existing industries. We believe transformative engineering, recognising the interconnectedness of oil and gas and renewables, is critical to making the transition fair, tangible, affordable and achievable.”

Forward looking professionals

As global citizens and businesses look to COP30, we remain focused on what we do best, connecting experience with innovation and delivering solutions that work in the real world.

COP30 reminds us that declarations set the direction, but it is action through design, construction and collaboration that turns ambition into progress.
