COP27

COP27 – due to be hosted in Egypt between 6-18 November 2022 – will be a significant international event on the climate change agenda. COP27 will bring governments together to accelerate global efforts to confront the climate crisis and assess the result of last year's Glasgow conference, the Glasgow Climate Pact.

Covering crucial topics such as climate finance, adaptation, energy and climate tech – the conference will have wide ranging implications for businesses, as we all endeavour to limit the average temperature rise to 1.5 degrees.

Below you can view recent insights and webinar recordings relating to the upcoming and previous COPs.

Sustainable disruption: 12 decarbonising technologies for cities

We have commissioned Economist Impact (part of The Economist Group) to produce an international thought leadership research programme that explores the future of technology-driven decarbonisation in cities.

The aim of the study is to identify 12 decarbonising technologies for cities around the world. The research and analysis being carried out by Economist Impact will address questions such as:

  • Which technologies offer the biggest opportunities in the urban context?
  • How can viable technologies be scaled up in the urban context?
  • What role can finance play in stimulating uptake of viable technologies in cities?
  • How can incentive regimes and policy stimulus support commercial viability?
  • Which cities provide best-practice examples for advances in decarbonisation?
