The year ahead will be a year of climate action. The UK is host of the #COP26 global climate summit taking place in November 2021. The government has committed to ‘build back greener’ as we emerge from the pandemic and to publish a net zero Strategy setting out how it will deliver on climate action ahead of COP26. Government, business and civil society must work in partnership to get on track to net zero and to ensure the net zero Strategy maps out a credible, comprehensive and realistic pathway to net zero. All sectors and levels of the economy will need to commit to action, set goals and pick up the pace to achieve ambitious emissions reductions. CLG UK has published ‘Bridging the gap: UK business and policy leadership for net zero’. Building on analysis undertaken by CISL’s Centre for Policy and Industrial Transformation that examines the progress that has been made towards reducing emissions in four key sectors: power and energy, built environment, road transport, and agriculture and land use, CLG UK’s publication Bridging the Gap sets out steps for how business and government can work together to bridge the gap between present action and necessary ambition. Read the report: https://www.corporateleadersgroup.com/bridging-gap-uk-business-and-policy-leadership-net-zero This event launched CLG UK's Bridging the Gap recommendations report through a webinar exploring the challenges and opportunities for the UK to demonstrate climate leadership through the net zero strategy to ensure it is on track to meet its ambitious medium and long term targets. Speakers: Clare Shine, Director and CEO, CISL Eliot Whittington, Director, CLG UK Peter Simpson, CEO, Anglian Water, and co-Chair, CLG UK Colin Matthews, Non-Executive Chairman of EDF in the UK, and co-Chair, CLG UK Carey Causey, President, Ball Beverage Packaging EMEA, Ball Corporation Stephen Rouatt, CEO, Signify UK&I

On 7 December 2019, C2G convened an official UNFCCC COP25 side event on governing emerging marine climate-altering techniques. Arunabha Ghosh, Chief Executive Officer of the Council on Energy, Environment and Water, participated in a panel discussion. The research and potential use of marine climate-altering techniques are being discussed in the context of the Paris agreement and the ocean’s role in achieving it.
