Effective climate change action requires transformative innovation and systems change. Yet there remains uncertainty about how best to spark and cultivate transformative innovation.

Our 2050 World – a collaboration including ISO, the Race to Zero and UN Global Innovation Hub – has commissioned new research, currently underway, to explore this knowledge gap and determine the conditions under which standards can accelerate progress to net zero. This discussion will feature the global case study of the development of the recently published ISO Net Zero Guidelines.

This event will also be livestreamed to the UNFCCC YouTube channel:
