What are the implications of the COP21 outcomes for corporate stakeholders?

Link Copied

Published on Dec 15, 2015

At the 2015 United Nations Climate Conference in Paris, world leaders, UN agencies, NGOs, and intergovernmental organisations gathered with the aim of achieving a legally binding and universal agreement on climate and a goal of keeping global warming below the threshold of 2°C.

This webinar will explore the outcomes of the Climate Conference, giving listeners:

  • An overview of what has been decided in Paris and what, if any, opportunities have been missed
  • Insight into how, post COP21, these decisions will be translated into national or international legislation and regulations
  • Understanding of the implications for business and other stakeholders

This webinar was hosted by the Institute of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability.

This webinar is behind a paywall, but please contact ICRS at stephanie.attal-juncqua@carnstone.com for free access.

    Ecological Statecraft in the Midst of War: Water, Regeneration, and the Future of Gulf Security

    The U.S.-Iran war has crossed a dangerous threshold: water infrastructure in the Gulf is now a target. Ecological statecraft is no longer peripheral to security, it's part of its foundations.

    How the EU Can Become Energy Independent

    The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has triggered a global energy crisis, but Europe is stuck in reaction mode. Without more strategic foresight, the EU will remain dependent on fossil fuels and will never be truly secure.
