About the webinar
The session will discuss how we can still make 2020 a pivot year for climate action and COP26 the success it needs to be.

COVID-19 has given us a glimpse into a global economy decimated by crisis. If governments and businesses do not maintain their commitments to climate action, and if COP26 is not successful in addressing the global climate emergency, the current levels of economic disruption will be our reality by 2050.

The actions we take this year, and the outcomes of the COP26 in 2021, will dictate our global capacity to stem the climate breakdown forever.

Join this live webinar organised by Climate Action and presented by its expert panel of climate and environmental leaders to understand how we can still make 2020 a pivot year for climate action and COP26 the success it needs to be.

This webinar will address:

  • How has COVID-19 affected climate and environmental diplomacy?
  • What are the critical components that must be address for COP to be a success?
  • What is the role of the private sector, NGO community, and Civil Society groups at COP?
  • How can we maintain momentum throughout 2020 and what can organisations do this year to lay the foundations for more ambitious climate action?
  • Should we be linking the economic recovery to the SDGs and how do we ‘build back better’?
