Science, Society and Politics. Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement 12 December 2015 there has been an overwhelming consensus to limit global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. To reach that goal the global community as well as corporations need to become net-zero. The decades ahead will be defined by minimizing emissions, and for most businesses this endeavor implies drastic changes to their business strategy and an overhaul to everyone’s business models. The question is therefore really not if, but how to become net-zero?
In collaboration with South Pole we want to invite you to our next panel discussion where we will exchange knowledge and insights with business leaders and experts from leading Norwegian companies, across a variety of industries, to share and discuss how to become net-zero by 2050.
