Taking a Bite out of Emissions: Can a Climate-Smart Food System Transform Agriculture Supply Chains?

With global food systems responsible for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, we must drastically rethink how we produce, process, package, distribute and consume food if we’re to reach the world’s climate targets while feeding a growing population. Join us to hear how businesses and governments can use their purchasing power and influence to decarbonize food supply chains in a way that’s productive, resilient and equitable.

We Need to Talk about Methane: Why Net Zero isn’t just about CO2

Reducing methane emissions might be the single most effective strategy to limit global warming, so why do we mainly talk in terms of carbon emissions? We know methane matters. What action is needed to deliver on the Global Methane Pledge agreed on at COP26, and can we go farther?

RE100 Member’s Forum

For our annual RE100’s member’s forum, we are inviting members to join us for an in-depth discussion on the progress and future direction of the initiative. In this closed-door session, members will gain exclusive insight into how RE100 is focusing on policy advocacy to accelerate the transition to 100% renewable power.

Are we there yet? Steering the global market towards EV100

Climate Week NYC 2022 marks the fifth anniversary of Climate Group’s global electric transport initiative, EV100. For five years, members – including some of the world’s largest businesses – have been leading the way in driving the electric vehicle transition globally. But change must happen faster. Can our success and current progress steer global markets towards EV100?

Is Anyone really Leading on Supply Chain Emissions Reduction?

If supply chain and scope 3 emissions are not at the top of your to-do list, then you’re already falling behind. In this decade, companies need to figure out how to tackle supply chain emissions. But right now, companies are simply not acting at the speed and scale needed to decarbonize their supply chains. And, if they were, how would we know?

Going Retro: Can Building Retrofits Deliver the Energy Resilience We Need?

Energy efficiency is not the new kid on the built environment block, but levels of attention and action remain generally poor. How should we rethink our energy strategies for the built environment? How do we move this issue to be treated with the same seriousness, political attention and investment as renewables and transport? And what is the role of this area in securing the energy independence and resiliency that governments now want?

Carbon’s Seat at Your Leadership Table

Two clear messages emerged from ENGIE Impact’s 2021 Net Zero Corporate Readiness Survey: corporations believe they can decarbonize but the operational fundamentals to enable Net Zero transformations aren’t yet in place.

As leadership, you’ve seen – and are excited by – the decarbonization roadmap that’s been developed. You’ve approved the budget and are anxiously waiting for the appropriate teams to deliver. Then the delays begin. In this session we will collectively discuss the readiness gaps between leadership and operational levels, the various hurdles that exist to implementing far-reaching strategies, and how to measure carbon the same way as other strategic assets.

Coming Together: ESG and the Future of the Finance Function

In March 2022, the US Securities and Exchange Commission released its climate change disclosure rule proposal. For companies committed to their green agendas, the proposal has sparked critical questions about their approach to compliance and its impact on their business. Chief among them: who is going to lead the way? How do the finance and sustainability functions need to work together and adapt? And how can we tech-enable our processes? For many, the answer is creating a new ESG council.

The Scope 3 Challenge

The number of net zero commitments has grown dramatically in recent years. The challenge now facing business is building on this momentum and turning ambitious commitments into meaningful action. One of the keys to success is understanding Scope 3 and having a clear view of emissions across your entire value chain. Understanding Scope 3 emission presents new but necessary challenges.

In this closed-door roundtable discussion, we will explore how to navigate these challenges when they arise.

Getting going: Breaking down the barriers to corporate climate action

Oliver Wyman and Climate Group recently interviewed over 25 corporate sustainability leaders on their experiences turning their climate commitments into action. This session will draw on key insights from this research to explore some of the main barriers and enablers in the transition to net zero. Participants will share their own pain points, successes, and challenges associated with driving the climate transition

Building city resilience

Cities are leading the charge to get it done in the fight against climate change. But they are also under enormous pressures when it comes to delivering public services, upgrading their energy infrastructures and dealing with the consequences of extreme weather events. Investing in energy efficiency provides cities with many co-benefits, helping to achieve their climate goals, as well as presenting wider socio-economic opportunities.

Unlocking collaboration across the Americas

States, regions, and businesses across the Americas face common challenges when addressing and implementing climate policy. Shared borders, geography, and trade agreements mean that successful climate policies are dependent on collaboration.

This session aims to address these common challenges and highlight potential shared solutions by breaking down silos between government, business, and other key stakeholders. In this way we can enable meaningful collaboration and identify key target areas.

The winning formula: Creating an American green hydrogen economy

Green hydrogen will play a crucial role in the decarbonization strategies for governments and businesses. Hydrogen is a solution for stationary applications or for fuel heavy transport, including aviation and shipping.

In this closed-door roundtable we will discuss the opportunity green hydrogen offers to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors and how increased collaboration between states, federal government, and the private sector can accelerate the delivery of this new green resource.

Actions after impacts: How can businesses address climate losses and damages?

Millions of people are suffering from climate change impacts. Science is unequivocal that these will increase in magnitude and frequency. No sector, no business, no community will escape from having to recover from climate losses and damages. Action is needed now. The great double injustice is that those who have done the least to cause climate change are among those paying the highest price.
