This year’s Summit, delivered in partnership with the University of Derby, will build on the continued activity to support the transition to a low carbon economy and the path to Net Zero.
We are now two years into the “Decade of Action” which is the call for accelerating sustainable solutions to all the world’s biggest challenges — ranging from poverty and gender to climate change, inequality and closing the finance gap.
The UN Secretary-General called on all sectors of society to mobilise for a decade of action on three levels: global action to secure greater leadership, more resources and smarter solutions for the Sustainable Development Goals; local action embedding the needed transitions in the policies, budgets, institutions and regulatory frameworks of governments, cities and local authorities; and people action, including by youth, civil society, the media, the private sector, unions, academia and other stakeholders, to generate an unstoppable movement pushing for the required transformations.
This Summit will focus on the practical ways the business community can aim to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions in the current challenging economic climate, which are estimated to account for around 18% of all carbon dioxide emissions, ensuring this is an inclusive process, supporting all business sizes and sectors.
