Throughout 2021, Asia House has brought together senior decision-makers from business and government to discuss key issues around sustainability and climate change in the lead up to COP26, alongside a programme of original research.
The Asia House COP26 Programme has hosted Indonesian President Joko Widodo and COP26 President Alok Sharma, as well as the UK COP26 envoy John Murton and COP26 ambassadors to the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
The Programme has also heard insights from Indonesia’s Finance Minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati; the Saudi Ambassador to the UK, HRH Prince Khalid Bin Bandar Bin Sultan; Hong Kong’s Environment Secretary Wong Kam-Sing; and business leaders such as Standard Chartered Group CEO Bill Winters and Accenture’s Chief Responsibility Officer & Global Sustainability Services Lead, Peter Lacy.
