Exponential Leadership - The Road to Belem - and Beyond

​Brought to you by the Exponential Roadmap Initiative & Futerra

​The race to net zero is reshaping the global economy. Leading companies are proving that it is possible to decouple financial performance and growth from emission reductions, showing that climate leadership and business success can go hand in hand. At the same time, momentum for climate action is facing headwinds — making strong leadership more critical than ever.

In this session, the Exponential Roadmap Initiative and Race to Zero bring together business leaders to share data and real-world cases of transformation. We will explore what good looks like in corporate climate action, the leadership we need, and how to stay the course and stay relevant for the rising economy on the road to Belém and beyond.
