SUMMARY:Innovation Zero Congress
DESCRIPTION:Innovation Zero is the platform for action positioned between the policy focused COP events. \nThe programme puts policymakers next to innovators who need the funding to scale up the commercialisation of low carbon solutions so that leaders from public and private sectors can deploy decarbonisation solutions in their supply chains to hit the UK legal target of emissions reductions. \nA critical challenge is unlocking the vast quantity of capital required to enable the transition to a zero-carbon economy. How are the Finance sector working to align capital with net zero outcomes? How will the sector enable clean economic growth and job creation? \nHear from our Chief Executive and Co-Founder Heather Buchanan on the Financing the Transition panel alongside leading investors\, lenders and finance sector leaders as they share their progress in enabling the transformation and their views on the opportunities being created. \nInnovation is the best weapon in the fight against climate change and the event shines the light on new solutions from the Energy\, Transport\, Industrials\, Finance and the Built Environment sectors.

SUMMARY:The future of sustainability reporting with Gavin Starks\, Icebreaker One
DESCRIPTION:This event from COP27 will also be live-streamed here.\nOur financial institutions are investing and managing $trillions towards a lower carbon future.  As regulatory and net zero policies increase\, today is the simplest things are going to be. We must address the scalability of trusted\, verifiable and comparable reporting. At the moment global initiatives are pushing towards delivering a lower carbon future but they cannot yet prove that we will actually hit net zero. We need to improve access to data at scale\, to improve its quality\, reliability and assurance to ensure we move away from estimations. \nThis fireside chat with Gavin Starks from Icebreaker One will address the core reporting challenges faced by organisations today and how Icebreaker One are helping deliver Bankers for Net Zero’s new programme of work that will deliver rapidly scalable\, low-effort\, low-friction sustainability reporting for SMEs.
