Meeting the Paris Goal: Strategies for Carbon Neutrality

Near-term action and long-term commitments are needed to meet the goal of the Paris Agreement, which involves getting to net zero emissions in the second half of the century. This affiliated event of Global Climate Action Summit, co-hosted by C2ES and Microsoft, will highlight how companies, states, cities, and universities are undertaking and tracking commitments toward carbon neutrality – including through their activities, product lines, and services. The session will explore lessons and options for achieving carbon neutrality while driving resilient economic growth.

Please note that advance registration is required for this event. Registration will close September 10, 2018 at 12 pm ET.
