GCNT Forum 2021 Thailand’s Climate Leadership Summit 2021 :A New Era of Accelerated Actions
11 October 2021
Business leaders representing Thailand’s major industries today joined the Global Compact Network Thailand (GCNT) Forum 2021 and United Nations in issuing a strong call to action by the private sector community on climate sustainability ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference COP26 in November in Glasgow. They committed to transitioning to more sustainable business models at the annual GCNT Forum, including net-zero emissions by 2050 at the earliest.
Five high-level panel discussions were held during the Forum, during which the participants discussed responsible business practices, with the focus on pressing issues such as the state of sustainability, credible climate actions via sustainable finance, the role of innovation and technology in addressing climate impacts, and business leadership and investment in carbon markets.
