Climate in the geopolitical context of today

Mon, 19th Sep 2022

09:00 AM - 10:00 AM ET

Climate, energy, food and global security are more connected than ever. Events this year have exposed the fragility of our systems and the risks posed by our short-term decision-making when faced with competing and connected global challenges. How we tackle these challenges together is one of the biggest questions of our time.

Taking a bite out of emissions: can a climate-smart food system transform agriculture supply chains?

With global food systems responsible for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, we must drastically rethink how we produce, process, package, distribute and consume food if we’re to reach the world’s climate targets while feeding a growing population. Join us to hear how businesses and governments can use their purchasing power and influence to decarbonize food supply chains in a way that’s productive, resilient and equitable.

The new climate reality: responding to complex and connected crises

Our world is connected, complex and changing. The impacts of climate change are compounding existing and growing global crises; from energy and supply chain pressures, to food and economic inequalities. And these crises are impacting progress on climate too. Ahead of COP27, what should be the international response to the multiple interlinked crises we are now experiencing?

The new climate reality: energy certainty in an uncertain world

With energy prices reaching an all-time high, creating access to clean, affordable and reliable energy in a resilient system must become a priority. But we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground. So how can the world double down on clean energy strategies to reduce prices, deliver security of supply and build energy independence? And how can we deliver short-term solutions to addressing the current crises without turning on the taps for fossil fuels and undermining our long-term goals?

It's a material world: making the right investments for industrial decarbonization

We live in a material world. Significantly more investments are needed to support the decarbonization of some of our most used materials, steel and concrete. But a lack of understanding in where the investment opportunities and risks lie are delaying progress in some of the highest emitting sectors.

Is anyone really leading on supply chain emissions reduction?

If supply chain and scope 3 emissions are not at the top of your to-do list, then you’re already falling behind. In this decade, companies need to figure out what and how to tackle supply chain emissions. But right now, companies are simply not acting at the speed and scale needed to decarbonize their supply chains. And, if they are, how would we know?

Going retro: can building retrofits deliver the energy resilience we need?

Energy efficiency is not the new kid on the built environment block. But levels of attention and action remain generally poor. How should we rethink our energy strategies for the built environment? How do we move this issue to be treated with the same seriousness, political attention and investment as renewables and transport? And what is the role of this area in securing the energy independence and resiliency governments now want.
