Supporting Your Event Supply Chain to Make #racetozero commitments on the Road to COP26

Taking action and joining the #racetozero on the road to COP26 is essential for event sector transformation. Corporate event planners are in a unique position being about to make the commitment themselves and support their event supply chain to join the #racetozero.

Positive Impact are running a series of corporate only webinars to discuss the role of corporate event planners in creating event sector transformation on the road to COP26.

These webinars will have a call to action to share Positive Impact’s initiative 'The Road to COP26: Event Sector Transformation’ which is curated by Positive Impact to provide support to at least 1000 SME’s within the event sector to make net zero commitments and take action before COP26.

This initiative is supported by SME Climate Hub (a member of the UN Race to Zero Campaign) and aims to support event SMEs to join the UNFCCC Climate Action Framework for Events (exact name for the framework to be confirmed).

For more information on the initiative before the webinar please see recording of the launch or read a report of the launch of Positive Impact initiative.
