In the first part of this special Climate Governance Global Summit episode, Emily Farnworth, Deputy Director, Centre for Climate Change Engagement, Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge, welcomes guests from the WEF’s Climate Governance Initiative – a global chapter of non-executive directors on a mission to make climate change a boardroom-level conversation.

Emily and guests, including HSBC’s Group Chairman Mark Tucker, B20 Chair Emma Marcegaglia, Telefonica, LafargeHolcim Board Member Claudia Sender Ramirez, High Level Climate Champion for COP26 Nigel Topping and Deloitte Global CEO Punit Renjen, discuss the importance of collaboration, integration, governance, and long-term vision in enabling businesses to transition towards net zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. Hear how capital providers can engage with investors on climate change, how – with the right structures and measurements – boards can create the right environment to progress in this area, and how non-executive directors can contribute in the race to net zero.
