COP27 and the sustainability agenda in 2023 and beyond

Global Spotlight

One of the most critical issues we face today is environmental sustainability as climate change threatens the future of the planet. Governments and businesses have begun to implement climate measures, but do they go far enough? How can nations and businesses foster a united approach in order to create a long-term positive impact?
This was the focus of discussion at the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt, which took place 6th - 20th of November, and saw leaders, representatives, campaigners, and lobbyists from around the world examine the action required to combat climate change.
As some disappointment lingered from COP26, our experts from around the world considered how COP27 measured up. Join RSM’s podcast host, Jon Cronin, Jacob Elkhishin (RSM Australia), Rich Hall, (RSM UK), Gidion Lont (RSM Netherlands), and Kareem Abu Eid (RSM Kuwait), as they explore the following points, and much more:
