Business Steps Up to the Climate Challenge
Wednesday, 10th March 11am
(Virtual)
The Davy Horizons Team would like to invite you to a business briefing with Nigel Topping, UN High Level Champion for Climate Action at COP26.
- Net zero emissions by 2050 is the target for governments, businesses and society to bend the emissions curve.
- In the run up to the UN climate summit, COP26 in November 2021 in Glasgow, the role of business is increasingly under the spotlight.
- Lots of net zero commitments are being made, but the 2020s are about getting serious on how all businesses step-up to the low carbon transition.
