8 June - ICAS Insights: Climate change - from reducing emissions to going net zero
Event summary
In 2015 global leaders came together and committed to limit global warming to well below 2°C. Six years on from this defining moment, with the new Biden administration, the UK’s climate leadership and COP 26 in Glasgow there’s renewed momentum to meet this world-critical target.
The ICAS Sustainability Panel explored some of the key questions of the climate debate:
- What does Net Zero mean and why does this matter to you?
- How to take action and measure progress?
The panel brought the perspectives of companies, investors and climate experts to discuss this existential journey and the challenges and opportunities it represents.
