The Business & Climate Summit takes place on June 28-29, 2016 in London. It is the leading annual forum for businesses, investors and policymakers on climate action.
- The 1st Business & Climate Summit marked a turning point for business engagement on climate policy. The second Summit will harness this engagement to make an unequivocal shift from words to action.
- The 2016 Business and Climate Summit will be held London, the heart of global finance and a leading business and technology hub. The summit is being designed by business for business, with a convening network of partners that represent over 6 million businesses worldwide.
- Forward thinking companies with climate change at the heart of their business strategies will reap the benefits of high return investments, while those that don’t will face greater risks – from policy, investors and climate change itself.
- Investors are increasingly directing their money toward the clean technologies of the future. A rapidly developing innovation and technology frontier is emerging, unlocking trillions of dollars of investment.
- It’s no longer just about commitments, it’s about real action. This year’s Business & Climate Summit will set out how business, in the short, medium and long term, can take advantage of a swift transition to a resilient low carbon economy.
