While voluntary corporate actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are critical, only public policy can deliver the pace and scale of reductions needed to limit the worst impacts of climate change. That’s why climate policy advocacy is an essential element of corporate sustainability leadership. This interactive session will address why advocating for climate policy makes business sense, what leadership looks like and how to get started, using the AAA framework: Advocate, Align and Allocate.
