Events
We organised and convened two highly successful events in 2021:
During New York Climate Week 2021, we convened a Global Roundtable on Negative Emissions and Carbon Management Technology Roundtable, hosted by Carbon Direct and the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance, with over 350 participants registered from across finance, public policy and business.
During COP27, we supported Carbon Direct with a virtual event Carbon Direct COP26 Global Forum on Carbon Management Technologies which brought together technical experts and investors to assess a range of currently available negative emissions technologies to capture, utilize and store carbon.
