Wednesday, December 10 | Why COP30 matters for 2026: Nature, carbon and wider policy (5 am ET; 10 am GMT)

In this webcast, professionals break down COP30's outcomes, clarifying implications for 2026 planning across nature-positive strategy, carbon markets and wider policy updates — and highlighting where organizations should act now.

As the dust settles on COP30 in Belém, the implications for business, investors and policymakers are only beginning to take shape. This webcast brings together regional and global professionals to unpack the summit's key outcomes and what they mean for 2026 planning. Speakers will explore the evolution of nature-positive strategies, developments in high-integrity carbon markets — including Article 6 and the voluntary carbon market — and emerging shifts and signals in the policy landscape. They will translate COP30 signals into practical strategic priorities, highlight risks and opportunities across sectors, and outline where organizations can take action now to align with an accelerating climate and nature agenda. Join us for a concise, insight-rich discussion designed to support informed decision-making in the year ahead.
