Fireside Chat: Decarbonization as a Catalyst for Capital Market Value | 2026 Global Decarbonization Forum

At the Global Decarbonization Forum 2026, Heather Buchanan (UK Parliament, APPG on Sustainable Finance) and Gunther Dütsch (Partner, PwC Germany) get candid about the gap between what businesses are actually doing and what politicians think is happening, and why that disconnect is quietly becoming one of the biggest risks in the transition.

Five hundred years of accounting never once included carbon or nature. The regulatory headwinds are real. And yet some companies are already pulling ahead, not by waiting for the perfect policy environment, but by asking a different question entirely: what is the risk-adjusted cost of doing nothing?

From the sectors where the business case is already obvious to the hard-to-abate industries still waiting for the right signals, Heather and Gunther outline what separates the companies that will win the next decade from those that won't and why staying silent right now might be the most expensive decision a business makes.

Watch now to find out what the leaders already know.
