The Role of Membership Organisations in the drive to a Zero Carbon Economy

​

Business plays a pivotal role in the cause and solution of climate change.

​

Our objective is to facilitate the opportunity for membership organisations to take a proactive leadership role and support the professions and industries they represent to accelerate towards net zero.

​

This event explores the role of associations in the transition to net zero carbon economy.

​

Mike Peirce, Director at The Climate Group and Alison Heppenstall from b2b, will be joined by:

- Dr Adam Marshall, Director General, British Chambers of Commerce

- Jonathan Labrey, Chief Strategy Officer, International Integrated Reporting Council

- Sharon Machado, FCCA Portfolio Head of Business Reporting , ACCA

​

This panel discussion, with representatives from a range of business sectors,  will explore:

• To what extent should professional and industry bodies demonstrate Climate Leadership?

• To what level do industry organisations understand the impact on climate by their sector/profession?

• What level of  Climate Action support do you think members seek from their professional and trade association?

• What more can be done to ensure membership groups work better together and collaborate to accelerate the move to a net zero economy?
