Voices from COP26: Why it matters to businesses in Singapore

COP26 concluded last week with the outcome of a completed rule-book that aims to help countries and institutions deliver the goal of meaningful climate action. The policies and actions set forward in this momentous event represent the blueprint to our collective progress.

Whether you’re a global conglomerate or a budding start-up, the policies drafted at COP26 can help guide you towards a sustainable and conscious way of doing business.

Given its significance, WWF-Singapore is hosting this event, Voices from COP26: Why it matters to businesses in Singapore, to share the key outcomes of the conference, especially the ones relevant for businesses in Singapore and the region.

Voices from COP26: Why it matters to businesses in Singapore is the first in the four-part Climate & Business series by WWF-Singapore that aims to address the importance of the corporate sector taking strong and meaningful action and accelerating efforts to avoid the worst of the climate crisis.
