Corporates and trade associations can play a decisive role in shaping climate policy. When companies actively support ambitious, effective policies aligned with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement, they demonstrate the credibility of their climate commitments and the coherence between their transition plans and advocacy practices — while contributing to the creation of enabling policy frameworks.
This event will present the latest research from InfluenceMap and discuss the findings of the Taskforce on Net Zero Policy, with a special focus on Recommendation 5 of the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Expert Group on Net Zero Commitments.
Objectives
- Examine the role of corporate advocacy and trade associations in shaping climate policy and influencing the pace and ambition of the net zero transition.
- Discuss the findings of the Taskforce on Net Zero Policy and the latest research from InfluenceMap, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and alignment between corporate lobbying and climate commitments.
- Explore practical approaches to implementing Recommendation 5 of the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Expert Group on Net Zero Commitments, ensuring that advocacy practices support — rather than undermine — the 1.5°C goal.
