Climate Solutions: the role of policy and regulation in scaling solutions for a low-carbon world

Webinar: 5th November 2024 – 14:00 – 15:00 GMT / 15:00 – 16:00 CET

To halve global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and limit global warming to 1.5C, we need to scale climate solutions (IPCC, 2022). Climate solutions must replace and transform high-emitting products and systems, allowing human needs to be met whilst reducing the footprint of vital materials and processes our societies depend on.   

Many solutions exist already, so what role does policy and regulation play in getting them to scale and decarbonise our society? 

This webinar brings together experts with insights from the standard-setting, policy, and business communities. Our panelists will 

• Set a vision for how they’d like to see climate solutions supported by policy and regulation by end-2025
• Consider the current major barriers and opportunities for scaling climate solutions 
• Share how businesses and financiers can work with regulators, policymakers, and standards-bodies to help climate solutions to work at scale.

The webinar will also host the first session of our newly founded, interactive ‘Doer’s Club’. Reflecting on the webinar’s content, NZPN members are invited to work collaboratively to drive action on key issues in our policy ecosystem. The Club is open to all and will provide the opportunity for Network members to meet like-minded peers and work across jurisdictions to present new and consolidate existing pathways for climate action. The first meeting of the Doer’s Club will take place for twenty minutes right after the panel of the webinar and will be followed by another Club meeting in the New Year.
