Government negotiators from around the world met in Madrid from 2 to 13 December at the 25th annual UN Climate Conference (COP25). They sought to enhance international collaboration to address climate change and to tighten up the small print of the landmark Paris Agreement.

In this webinar, Ramon Pueyo Viñuales, Partner, KPMG in Spain will summarize the key outcomes of COP25. Michael Hayes, Global Leader of Renewables, KPMG International will lead a panel discussion on how global climate policy affects the business community and how companies should respond.

He heads up IETA’s Business Partnership for Market Readiness (B-PMR), which aims to further the development of international GHG emissions trading models.
