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.
