FREE WEBINAR | Reclaiming Net Zero
Thursday 9th July 2026, 11:30 – 12:30 BST. Hosted by Net Zero Tracker.
Synopsis:
Net zero strategies are not being abandoned – they’re being refined. Amid a perfect storm of geopolitical uncertainty and fossil fuel volatility, recalibrations of climate plans can present an opportunity for firms to prioritise what matters: near-term delivery, phasing out fossil fuels, transparency on offsets and lobbying for climate action. Making plans more credible can also drive security, competitiveness and resilience – but only if ambition is matched by delivery.
This event explores how recalibrating net zero plans can strengthen competitiveness, resilience and delivery. It will examine how evolving accountability standards and new approaches – both inside and beyond supply chains – can move societal net zero from ambition to implementation.
