COP26 summit overview

Discussions at COP26 represented the world’s last best chance to limit global warming to 1.5°c, to turn the Paris commitments into action and to help build a sustainable future for all.

 

We participated extensively at COP26 holding more than 30 in-person and live broadcasts from Glasgow over 12 days focused on measurable actions businesses can take now to transform and become more sustainable. We also shared our latest UNGC CEO Study findings and other thought leadership about reaching net zero, sustainable organisations and biodiversity.

 

At Accenture, we're making sustainability one of our top responsibilities. Not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also because we believe it will be the most powerful force of change in our generation.
