Global Summit: Ambition to Action: Session 1



Published
The Climate Governance Initiative (CGI) is hosting the Global Summit 2022: Ambition to Action, a 24-hour virtual conference spanning the globe and bringing together highly motivated board members and other eminent speakers who champion effective climate governance. The event programme features region-specific keynotes and panels, as well as interactive sessions developed and delivered by CGI’s network of non-executive directors (NEDs), targeted at board members and directors from the business world who are ready to take effective climate governance to the next level.
CGM is the Secretariat of the ASEAN Climate Governance Network, a network of all institutes of directors in ASEAN.

Session 1: Zero ambitions: what is the role of boards on climate?
Investors and regulators see climate goals as essential to risk management and growth – and expect boards to drive to change. What action should a successful board in ASEAN be taking from the perspective of a global or regional investor? How is regulation changing the responsibilities of directors? How will investors balance the benefits of engagement with the pressure they face to divest?
