Abstract
The world meets again.
All eyes on Glasgow as the UK hosts the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) on 1 – 12 November 2021. Bringing together parties to accelerate action on climate in what is known as our final decade to act.
We are faced with the greatest challenge of all – to preserve a livable climate, that all life depends on. To do so, greenhouse-gas emissions must be reduced to net zero by 2050. ‘We’ are in a race, all of us, to transit to a low-carbon economy – it’s not going to be easy. Didn’t Kermit the frog sing “it’s not that easy to be green”?
We have three challenges this year:
How can OR help beyond COP26 in the transition to a net zero carbon future?
How can OR help leaders grow purpose driven, wellbeing businesses?
How can OR help with the global task to vaccinate the world?
