COP26 was a historic, collective achievement for Glasgow.
With all eyes on Glasgow, the world saw almost 200 countries come together alongside an unprecedented turnout from the private sector to commit to act on climate change.
Building on the COP legacy, Congress of Business (COB) will drive and inspire action within business and cities to transition to net zero, supporting the ambitions of the various Glasgow Climate Pacts forged during COP26.
Congress of Business will lead positive change by connecting global businesses and cities to ignite action and drive innovation to tackle climate change.
With an initial focus on the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and Glasgow Food and Climate Declaration, COB is a series of purpose lead discussions, interventions and networking sessions.
