The Net-Zero Policy Network will set the course for climate policy and action

There is an increasing demand from business and civil society to play a proactive role in shaping net-zero policy and regulation. Coordinated action to advance this new era of governance requires a trusted space for comprehensive information about latest developments.

The Net-Zero Policy Network, a joint initiative by Oxford Net Zero and Normative, brings together businesses, policymakers, and academia to broadcast and catalyze clear, fair, and aligned climate policy and action.

Join us for the Network’s launch event, in which speakers representing business, civil society, and academia will share their ambitions for this global forum. During our launch, we also want to hear what your organizations’ priorities are and how a cross-sectoral collective of mission-aligned peers can help you leverage your climate ambition.

Speakers:

  • Kaya Axelsson, Head of Policy & Partnerships, Oxford Net Zero
  • Dr Ritwika Sengupta, Net Zero Policy Manager, BSi (Our 2050 World)
  • Julie Segal, Senior Manager, Climate Finance, Environmental Defence
  • Dr Alexander Schmidt, Head of Science, Sustainability and Climate Research, Normative
