Net zero pathway: from counting to compensating

Reaching net zero carbon emissions in the coming decades will be critical if we are to limit the impact of climate change on our way of life. Reducing carbon emissions will require the transition to cleaner energy sources and the continued development of an asset class for carbon sinks including the value of natural ecosystems.

On Thursday June 15, we invite you to join us at EXPO City Dubai alongside industry experts and guest speakers including from Uniper, Vesta and with a special keynote speech from Ibrahim Al-Zu’bi, SVP Sustainability, Climate Change & ESG at ADNOC, as we focus upon the big topics that exist within the discussion on the move to net zero:

  • The science and economics of net zero
  • Carbon accounting, metrics and measurement

  • Understanding emissions and measurement: Scopes & GHG Protocol
  • Reporting & benchmarking your emissions
  • Forward looking emissions: climate scenarios, targets & temperature scores

  • Mature and emerging market case studies: utilizing climate finance as a catalyst to erode the green premium:
  • The decarbonization of electricity generation
  • Carbon-removing coastal protection
  • New energies and technologies
