Environment and climate change

Environment and climate change

We bring together key stakeholders, across the sectors, in an open and trusted environment, to map out how we can address the challenges that the climate crisis presents.

At all levels, companies, governments and citizens are grappling with the challenges posed by keeping global temperature increases under the 1.5°C mark. Making meaningful impact will require collaboration across all areas. Following COP26, this is more vital than ever.

We bring together key stakeholders across the sectors in an open and trusted environment; to map out how we can transform the economy, and the way we live, to address the challenges that the climate crisis presents.

Through roundtables, workshops, briefings and other content, the Environment and Climate Change series creates partnerships on:

  • Decarbonisation and clean growth
  • Sustainable finance
  • Mitigation and adaptation
  • Agriculture and biodiversity

To drive the agenda, we gather feedback from across our membership and are supported by the environment and climate change advisory council.
