IIGCC's Annual General Meeting
2016 is the year for implementation and IIGCC is working with the EU and national governments to drive implementation of the Paris Agreement into investment-grade national policies. At the intersection of government policy and investment practices is the issue of corporate lobbying against climate policies that are in the long-term interests of investors and the economy. At this year’s AGM, results will be presented from the IIGCC Initiative on EU Company Climate Lobbying, followed by a candid discussion with some experts from the Brussels policy arena. Please join fellow IIGCC member pension funds and managers from across Europe to share ideas and learn from the investor-led projects to drive the low-carbon transition.
