Climate Change - the state we're in

Climate Change – the state we’re in ‘an ACCA event examining reporting policy and practice’

With the window of opportunity to tackle climate change shrinking fast, managing and accounting for GHG emissions is a critical issue.

Looking at current and emerging policy and practice, this event will provide an assessment of where climate change mitigation practices and GHG emissions accounting are presently and where they need to get to, in order to meet the ambitions of the upcoming COP15 summit.

Sharing opinion from the political, policy and corporate perspectives, the seminar will provide an up-to-date assessment of how far we still need to go to meet the climate change challenge and the practical steps governments and businesses need to take.

Speakers will include:

Karl-Friedrich Falkenberg, director general, DG Environment
Brendan Murtagh, president, ACCA
Mairead McGuinness, MEP, European Parliament
Chris Tuppen, chief sustainability officer, BT
Roger Adams, executive director, Policy, ACCA
