A New Green Chapter: US and UK Sustainability Developments from COP26

BAB brings together CCSS partners and new guest speakers to share their views on the tangible outcomes of the UN’s Climate Change Conference (COP26) and to discuss how climate change mitigation, net zero pledges and policy momentum can be turned into action towards a low-carbon economy.  Our panel will discuss:

  • how cities, states and regions can access climate-related finance to achieve protection against climate change
  • how the global accounting bodies will help government create policies necessary for transition to net zero economies
  • how ratings agencies are working together towards global ESG standards
  • how the investor community is stepping up and taking on long-term sustainable investments to create long-term value for societal and environment impact.

BAB’s Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability Series is a bespoke series of roundtables and business briefings covering critical Environmental, Societal and Governance (ESG) issues in business and private sector-led initiatives in support of COP26, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This series provides a platform to stimulate debate and conversation amongst business leaders, relevant policy makers and stakeholders to advance the guiding principles of  COP26 for the U.S.-UK transatlantic corridor.
