Climate change was a leading issue for more voters in 2020 than any other election year. With a promising new pro-science, pro-climate action administration coming in 2021, there are more pathways — and far greater political will — than ever before to transition to a clean energy economy. Now, the question is less about what can be done to act on climate, and more about how soon. How quickly can a new administration turn around a gutted EPA, myriad environmental law rollbacks, and a legacy of climate denial from fossil fuel companies? What are the key tools and actions the Biden administration can take to address the urgency of the climate crisis? Join us for a conversation on climate breaking through in 2021 with Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University and author of The New Climate War: The Fight to Take Back Our Planet, and Leah Stokes, assistant professor of political science at UC Santa Barbara and author of Short Circuiting Policy: Interest Groups and the Battle Over Clean Energy and Climate Policy in the American States.

COP26 seeks to deliver measurable progress on mitigation, adaptation, and finance. Alongside this, non-state actors - including business and financial institutions - are being asked to join the Race to Zero and set their own long-term net zero targets and ambitious 2030 targets. Collaboration between governments, financial institutions and corporates will be key to delivering the transformations required. This event brought together perspectives from government, financial institutions and corporates to examine where we have got to now and what needs to happen beyond COP26 – not just to put us on track to halve global emissions by 2030, but also to help economies globally to build forward better following the pandemic, protect communities and nature, and build resilience to climate change. Recorded: Friday 5 November, 9.30am –11am Location: Merchants House, Glasgow (outside of the COP zone) Panel 1 speakers: Where have we got to? Jessica Fries, Executive Chairman, Accounting for Sustainability Rachel Kyte, Dean, The Fletcher School, Tufts University Tony Danker, Director-General, CBI Chair: Clare Shine, CEO, CISL Panel 2 speakers: What next? Wendy Clark, CEO, Dentsu Janet Pope, Chief of Staff and Group Director, Sustainable Business, Lloyds Bank Paul Spence, Director of Strategy and Corporate Affairs, EDF Energy Gonzalo Sáenz De Miera, Director of Climate Change and Alliances, Iberdrola Chair: Dr Nina Seega, Research Director for Sustainable Finance, CISL #AchievingZero #COP26 #COP26Glasgow

Nicole Crooks and Michael Clarkson shed light on how climate change disproportionately impacts BIPOC communities. They share their first-hand experience of climate gentrification occurring in the historically Black neighborhood of Overtown, Miami, and empower us to take stand for vulnerable communities whose legacies are being erased in the face of climate change. Co-founder of KonsciousKontraktors Ink and CEO of Ti Ayiti Preparedness And Relief Institution (TAPARI) A resident of Overtown and as such, has experienced Miami’s climate justice issues first hand. Because of this, she was inspired to co-found the Black Butterfly Collective - an environmental justice and wellness project that educates and supports Black women in the fight against climate change. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
