The 2021 Net Zero Festival brought together some of the world's foremost thinkers on what it takes to accelerate and expand the net zero transition. We'd urge business executives, investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and campaigners to watch back on demand to explore how to navigate the defining economic, political, and technological trend of the age.
About the Net Zero Festival 2021
With thousands of companies now committed to delivering net zero emissions and the UK set to host the critical COP26 Climate Summit this November, the Net Zero Festival could not have come at a more opportune time.
The 2021 line-up for the Festival covered the full breadth of the net zero transition and explored the opportunities and challenges that the green industrial revolution presents.
The event provided both invaluable practical guidance on how to navigate the economic and technological shifts that are already underway and explored how to accelerate decarbonisation strategies.

Faster, Together
The aim is simple: to provide business leaders with both the inspiration and the practical, actionable advice required to develop and advance their own net zero strategies.
The rationale is equally simple: the climate crisis is real; the scale of the challenge is unprecedented; the net zero transition is happening and accelerating.
The goal is obvious: to demonstrate that a rapid transition towards a net zero economy by 2050 at the latest is not just possible, but is hugely desirable, is something worth celebrating.
BusinessGreen Net Zero Festival – for leaders who won't wait until 2050 to build a better business, and a better world.
