This year, the bank, together with help from Mike Dickson, founder of Our Generous Gene, has brought together three renowned climate change experts, including former Unilever CEO Paul Polman, and Nigel Topping, a member of the COP26 leadership team. They will discuss the progress that has been made since the 2015 Paris Agreement’s challenge to net zero by 2050.
