How Business Can Advance Policies That Fast-track a Zero-carbon Future

No company or Government can rise to the climate challenge on their own. Public corporate commitments on climate action help demonstrate the economic case for ambitious climate policy, and Governments can build on the growing business leadership to enact stronger, more ambitious policies. These kind of 'ambition loops' - positive feedback loops in which private sector leadership and Government policies reinforce each other - are emerging around the world. During this session, you will learn how your company can apply the concept of an 'ambition loop' and fast-track zero-carbon economic growth. 

During this interactive session, you will learn about:

• The concept of an 'ambition loop'
• Examples of ambition loops around the world
• Engaging responsibly in climate policy
• Examples of corporate leaders and Governments implementing ambition loops in practice
