How can corporates use the time between now and COP30 and utilize the Global Stocktake to keep 1.5 degrees alive? Today, we are confronted with pressing environmental and social challenges that demand urgent solutions. Yet there's been a collective failure by businesses, governments, and society to address these issues effectively. Yet, competitive global markets dynamics make collective action essential, as the issues we face are global and know no geographical boundaries. Large-scale systemic shifts must be initiated through national and international policy changes. This panel will explore how corporate leaders can break this deadlock and how we collectively make it happen.
