UN climate change meet could provide industry a roadmap for low carbon growth

On the margins of the UN General Assembly in September, the UN Secretary General has convened a summit to discuss plans to address climate change. The UN Secretary General is concerned that the collective climate ambition is low and is keen to launch new initiatives to close the gap between the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) made under the Paris Pact and the goal of climate stabilisation. Nine tracks of discussion are planned at the summit, with the hope of nudging countries to move to an aggressive path of decarbonisation.
