Upcoming Webinar | 1 December 2022

COP27 held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt was anticipated by many as an “Implementation COP” to build on the agreements reached at COP26 in Glasgow.

In this 45-minute webinar, we will discuss the key outcomes from COP27 and what we expect the key trends and developments to be in 2023 and beyond. In particular, we will consider what COP27 means for:

  • Article 6 mechanisms and voluntary carbon markets
