Space4Climate is taking part in Futurebuild, renown as THE built environment event where brands of all sizes can share innovations, from products, to processes and solutions, with over 27,000 industry influencers and shapers.
Background
In response to a call from G20 leaders, the Financial Stability Board established the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) to enhance transparency on the financial risks to investors from climate change. The TCFD published guidelines for voluntary reporting, and the UK Government formally endorsed the TCFD recommendations in 2017. In its Green Finance Strategy published in 2019, Government signalled an expectation for all listed companies and large asset owners to report under TCFD guidelines by 2022. In parallel, the UK Government set out a commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, making the UK the first major economy to do so.
