This high-level international conference will celebrate the Paris Agreement as we approach its 10th anniversary. Participants will discuss the way forward from the perspective of boards and markets by bringing together business leaders, academia, civil society and policy makers.
The event is organised by ECGI as part of a multi-year project on Responsible Capitalism. Building on the success of the inaugural summit held in October 2022 and hosted by BNP Paribas Fortis in Brussels, the summit aims to review the progress made in the ten years following the landmark Paris Agreement of 2015.
