This panel is a collaboration between The Sunrise Project and the UN Global Compact. It will be moderated by Amanda Starbuck, a member of the UN Secretary General’s High Level Expert Group on climate change and Program Director at The Sunrise Project.

Opening remarks will be made by Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General, and Amanda will be joined by a panel of civil society experts and thought leaders on private sector decarbonisation.

The panel discussion will introduce some of the challenges on addressing Scope 3 emissions, frame the debate, and offer some initial avenues and ideas for credible and Paris-aligned solutions.

This event aims to generate a collaborative space to discuss alternative solutions for achieving Net Zero, and overcoming barriers to Scope 3 decarbonisation. The conversation will not be about promoting existing successes, or proven metrics and approaches for assessing climate action, but a place for innovative and new approaches to be discussed and interrogated in the spirit of reaching shared goals, and overcoming common obstacles
