COP27: A focus on implementation by New Zealand businesses

To coincide with the final days of COP27, where signatory governments will meet in Egypt to discuss and agree how to jointly address climate change and its impacts, DLA Piper and the Sustainable Business Council invite you to join us for a breakfast panel discussion to reflect on the implications of COP27 for New Zealand, and how as businesses we can continue to take steps towards decarbonisation.

The theme of this year’s COP27 summit is ‘Together for implementation’.

Our discussion will cover the decarbonisation steps, both incremental and significant, that leading corporates across a range of sectors are taking internationally, including DLA Piper’s own journey to being the first law firm in the world to sign a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (cPPA) in the UK. We will also look at the common challenges being faced in the local market; the range of incentives and benefits to consider; and possible future regulatory changes to be aware of.

We hope you can join us.
