In the second part of this special Climate Governance Global Summit episode in our Business Plan for the Planet podcast series, Emily Farnworth, Deputy Director, Centre for Climate Change Engagement, Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge, continues the conversation with guests from the World Economic Forum’s Climate Governance Initiative.  

Emily and her panel of experts, including HSBC’s Group Chairman Mark Tucker, B20 Chair Emma Marcegaglia, Telefonica, LafargeHolcim Board Member Claudia Sender Ramirez, High Level Climate Champion for COP26 Nigel Topping and Deloitte Global CEO Punit Renjen, discuss how non-executive directors can bring the climate change conversation into the boardroom and how to make a difference as a non-executive board member. They cover the importance of peers and partnerships, integration and collaboration, innovation and accountability, learning, and using your imagination rigorously. They also discuss the need for a measurable, science-based plan for achieving transition to net zero emissions by 2050 – and how to hold management to account.
