Business & Climate Summit, May 20–21, Paris

The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), through its Corporate Leaders Group, is an official partner of the Business & Climate Summit.

For the first time, major business networks have joined forces for a two-day meeting: the Business & Climate Summit

Responding to the UN Secretary General’s call for the private sector to take an active role, leaders of major businesses from around the world will gather at the Business & Climate Summit in Paris, on 20–21 May to exchange with policy makers on the best ways to deploy low carbon solutions at the right scale and pace. Business is ready to play its role in meeting the climate challenge.

200 days before COP 21, this two-day meeting will address critical questions:

How to close the gap between business and politics? What are the long-term targets? How to finance the low carbon economy? Can we agree on pricing carbon or flexibility mechanisms? Can we imagine worldwide frameworks?

This Summit, cornerstone event of the Climate Week Paris (18–22 May), will focus on how to work together towards a low carbon, prosperous and safer future for all.
