ICC Make Climate Action Everyone’s Business Forum

The ICC Make Climate Action Everyone’s Business Forum is a hybrid event broadcasted from the COP27 Blue Zone. It will present expertise from more than 70 organisations representing the global business community, forward-thinking governments and international partners.

We are delighted to be hosting a panel session at the event on 17 November on ‘Geopolitical Risk and ESG Resilience: What’s Next for Corporate Strategy?’, including Oxford Analytica speakers Dr Isabella D. Bunn, Senior Advisor, and Amalia Khachatryan, Head of Scenarios and Policy Planning.

The discussion will cover how today’s geopolitical dynamics are transforming both the assessment of enterprise risk and the implementation of ESG programmes, including:

• Qualitative and quantitative factors in political, economic and security scenarios.
• Conflict in Ukraine.
• Tensions In China.
• Disruption in global energy markets and how this might thwart action on climate change commitments.

Given mounting pressures, ESG itself is becoming a political flashpoint.
