How SMEs Can Achieve Net Zero Emissions: Insights from Nik Gowing and COP26

Nik Gowing recently moderated an insightful one-hour explainer session designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) transform their operations and work towards achieving Net Zero emissions.

Many businesses are still grappling with the implications of COP26 in Glasgow and how to adapt their strategies to meet the global climate goals. What do the COP26 outcomes mean for your business? How can SMEs change their operations to reduce emissions and contribute to a sustainable future?

The session, hosted by Climate Action for Associations (CAFA), focuses on helping businesses navigate the urgency of climate action and the changing landscape. CAFA’s mission is clear: to support and guide SMEs through the complex process of decarbonizing their operations.

During the breakfast session, top climate and business experts share their insights on the challenges and opportunities for SMEs, providing clear, actionable lessons that were not fully addressed during COP26 itself.

By watching this session, you’ll gain valuable advice on how your business can adapt to the evolving climate challenges and move towards achieving NetZero emissions.
