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

Ahead of COP26, Eliot Whittington, Director of the Corporate Leaders Groups, caught up with Peter Simpson, CEO of Anglian Water, to explore the challenges and opportunities in the net zero transition - and what outcomes he would like to see from the landmark climate summit. The CLG has frequently defined the UK’s business response to climate change – one of the greatest challenges of our time. Since its founding in 2005 under the leadership of CISL’s Patron HRH The Prince of Wales, the CLG has helped build consensus across the UK business community in support of climate action. It spoke first and loudest in support of the UK’s Climate Change Act, and now sits at the heart of a growing community of progressive business voices in Europe and around the world. The CLG is convened by the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership's world-leading expertise on sustainability and a team that has a deep understanding of the political landscape and how to shape it. #AchievingZero #COP26 #COP26Glasgow #TogetherForOurPlanet
