At the end of COP26, this CISL event (hosted at Scottish Power's Glasgow Headquarters) captured the key messages, insights and actions from the summit, and explored implications for business and the finance industry. Bringing together experts in climate science and policy, business and finance, this event showcased reflections and discussions on the key topics emerging from COP26 and how to address the challenges of the coming years. The science and policy session included reactions to IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report, progress on global climate negotiations and the Paris Agreement, identifying wins and remaining challenges for policy. The business session considers alignment of words and actions, translating the policy statements into metrics and targets for business, including the role of technology and research and development needs for decarbonisation and adaptation. The finance session addresses capital and risk sharing systems for a resilient and just transition, how net zero commitments align with this and implications for business and finance itself. The event concluded by reflecting on what this means for leaders in the short, medium and long-term.
