Business & Climate Summit 2017 - New Delhi in August 2017

The Business & Climate Summit (BCS) is the leading annual forum for businesses, investors and policymakers on climate action. It is where business and governments come together to agree a roadmap for reaching net zero emissions over the next half century. It demonstrates how low carbon strategies are good for business and good for growth – and builds the partnerships needed to scale up and accelerate the low carbon transition. Two editions of BCS have been organized so far in Paris (first edition in year 2015) and London (second edition in year 2016). The underlying theme of BCS is that the “Businesses provides solutions and governments hold the key.”
