Synopsis
The investor community is currently deciding what a good climate commitment looks like from oil majors, and how they will vote on crucial climate resolutions. The goal of the symposium is to discuss how shareholders can support oil and gas companies to contribute to the goal of the Paris Climate Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C to well below 2°C. We will discuss oil majors’ current pledges for 2030 and 2050, shareholder engagement and shareholder resolutions.
The symposium will bring together investors, the oil and gas industry, academics, and media to discuss how investors can support oil and gas companies to take a leading role in tackling climate change.
