After the COP26 conference on combating climate change, we now have eight short years to meet some of the most ambitious collaborative goals in history, with many countries and organisations aiming to halve their greenhouse-gas emissions by 2030. But just how solid were the promises made at COP26 in Glasgow? How can companies ensure they deliver on them and prepare for more commitments at COP27? When an ever-widening pool of standards and regulations is being developed, which ones should you follow? And how should you start getting ready to adapt your business in case climate targets are not met? Our week-long countdown event will gather experts to provide practical ideas to help you move faster and prepare for COP27. The clock is ticking… Register * AGENDA Case studies and solution-focused industry tracks * SPEAKERS Hear from sustainability leaders in business, policy, research and non-profit * SPONSORS See which organisations provide their valued support to the event FEATURED SPEAKERS Previous View Profile CARLA BAILO Former chief executive and president, Centre for Automotive Research X CARLA BAILO Former chief executive and president, Centre for Automotive Research October 5th 2022 * 11:55 am Panel: Racing towards net-zero goals for transport and infrastructure Carla Bailo is the former president and chief executive officer of the Centre for Automotive Research (CAR) and a leader in engineering and vehicle programme management, with 42 years’ experience in the automotive industry.
