Methane matters: local leadership, global results

Monday, September 21, 2026

We know methane reduction is one of the fastest levers to slow near-term warming, but the conversation has evolved. Awareness alone is not enough; it needs to lead to action. Governments and investors are responding to methane’s tangible economic, energy, and security risks, from rising energy costs to regulatory exposure and investment risks.

Accelerating the transition: what will it take to scale zero-emission transport?

Monday, September 21, 2026

The transition to zero-emission transport is no longer just about vehicles. As transport becomes increasingly connected with energy systems, digital technologies and charging infrastructure, the boundaries between automotive, energy and technology are rapidly disappearing. Delivering the transition at the speed and scale required will depend not only on innovation, but on how effectively businesses, governments and investors work together to build the systems that enable it.  As transport, energy and technology converge, how do we build the systems, partnerships and policies needed to scale zero-emission transport faster?

Architecture, Planning, and International Law: Building Postcarbon Futures

Wednesday, September 23, 2026

In July 2025, the International Court of Justice published a groundbreaking advisory opinion that establishes the legal obligation for states to adopt significant measures to combat climate change—particularly industrialized nations that have contributed most significantly to the crisis. The charge is clear, now scientifically and legally: We must transform infrastructure to ensure the planet’s future for all those who inhabit it. But what does a postcarbon future look like? And how can the infrastructure of that future serve to not only repair and restore environments but fundamentally reimagine the unjust, inefficient, and unsustainable systems that, quite literally, fuel the climate crisis and its inequitable impacts?

Waste Is a Design Flaw: Building the Circular Industrial Economy

Wednesday, September 23, 2026

Too often, circularity is reduced to recycling. But for industry, real circularity is much broader—and far more transformative. Hear from leaders from Bain & Company, Envetec, Haddy, Volkswagen, and Siemens as they explore how organizations are rethinking product design, material flows, asset performance, and value creation across the full product lifecycle. From modernization and refurbishment to remanufacturing, resource recovery, and new service-based business models, circularity is fundamentally reshaping how industrial companies create value.
