Focus:

70% of the world economy has committed to net zero by 2050. The climate crisis is on the front page of every global news outlet. Are we finally seeing a mass mobilisation and realisation of what is at stake?

As part of our commentary around COP 26, Reset Connect and My Green Pod have teamed up to host an exclusive 3-part series to honestly and boldly tackle the critical realities of climate change, and what political inertia and dithering means for our planet.

During part 1 (watch the replay here), our panel offered 5 very clear objectives and ambitions that we MUST see realised during the 2 weeks of the conference:

• A recognition that inequality is THE block to helping unlock climate issues

• Urgent and very clear communication to the public of the global threat. Our political leadership must do this together. 

• It’s time to herald the emergence of science-based policy. Taxation of carbon and greenhouse gases is urgently required to cut emissions and COP26 is the right place to announce this. 

• A public discussion to remove greenwashing. Clear accountability and transparency on externalities, with multinationals playing the key role.

• Clear examples and demonstrations of international Government’s enabling investment in the right places - innovation and transformation in every sector

Do you want to see a panel of international climate experts hold COP26 to account? 

Do you want a “warts and all” assessment of the key developments, designed specifically for business? 

Do you want to know what happens next, and the part you have to play?

Join us live at Wood House in Glasgow for Part 2 as we digest these ambitions, analyse and argue the extent to which they have been met, and demand answers on the things we haven’t seen enough progress on!
