This webinar took place on Wednesday 18 November, 2:30pm – 4:00pm GMT.
This webinar was delivered as part of the Race to Zero Dialogues that took place from 9 to 19 November 2020. It was one of several dialogues that focussed on the cross-cutting theme of resilience. The Dialogues were ran as part of Race to Zero, a campaign driving global commitments and ambition to limit warming globally to 1.5C. This webinar examined how we can transform infrastructure investments globally to deliver a resilient and net zero world. The dialogue explored the role of policy, approaches and investments required globally to support and build resilient supply chains, infrastructure and a thriving natural environment through place-based examples from the UK and other countries.
This webinar follows CISL’s Future we Want Leadership Discussions, which bring together leading thinkers from business, finance, government and academia, to shine a light on the choices that need to be made, both now and in the long term for a net zero, sustainable future.
