This event will be delivered as a live webinar. 

Bookings close at 17:00 on Tuesday 6 July.

Join us for the ABI’s Climate Change Summit on Wednesday 7 July 2021 to hear from some of the most influential leaders driving action to meet Net Zero targets by 2050. This one-day virtual event will address how the insurance and long-term savings sector can reduce societal risk, build back better, and showcase best practice - harnessing the change and investment needed to actively uncouple carbon from economic growth.

This year marks a pivotal moment for all sectors to step up action on ESG and as the fourth largest insurance and long-term savings industry in the world, we have a central role to play in improving the market to secure environmental and financial sustainability for generations to come. To explain how we can prepare and adapt, attendees will hear from senior industry leaders, senior figures from Government and regulators, as well as champions for action on climate change. Secure your place today to ensure you gain the expert knowledge, insights and best practice needed for our industry to accelerate the transition to Net Zero.
