When: Wednesday 13th October, 16:00 - 18:00
Where: Zoom webinar
COP26 comes at a critical time in the challenge of halting dangerous climate change. The devastation from severe floods and wildfires, coupled with extreme heat with record breaking temperatures in many parts of the world, bring into sharp focus the urgent need to take action. With this as a backdrop there is much that needs to be achieved in the discussions at COP26 to drive real action that creates positive change. As an industry we have a huge role to play and we have brought together a number of fantastic speakers who will give a transport perspective covering the themes being discussed at COP26.
The session will start with a key note speaker, Martin Baxter, Director of Policy and External Affairs and deputy CEO of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, following on with experts discussing; Achieving Net Zero, Adapting to protect communities and natural habitats, Mobilising finance to support sustainability and Working together to deliver targets.
We aim to have time to encourage discussion, and we’d like you to consider for debate: what one thing would you like to say to the decision makers at COP26?
Keynote speaker:
 Martin Baxter, IEMA. Martin will provide an overview of the aims and objectives of COP26 generally and what the UK aims to get out of it and his hopes for the agreements made.

Working together to deliver targets
Kevin will discuss the role of CILT (and professional bodies generally) to promote collaboration – between people, organisations, sectors and governments

Achieving Net Zero
In February 2021, CILT published a Year End report summarizing our activity to date.
