Transform the Norm – Climate disclosure and action in Iceland

The world stands at a crossroads. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the vulnerabilities of the economy into sharp relief, and renewed calls for a more sustainable and resilient economy.

This decade must be the decade of transformative environmental action, in the race to a net-zero sustainable economy.

On the 8th of May, Landsvirkjun, a leader in climate disclosure, and CDP, the non-profit that runs the world’s largest environmental database, are coming together in a joint event on the power of disclosure in spurring environmental action in Iceland. In the run up to COP28, disclosure is vital for public authorities, municipalities and companies to demonstrate their environmental leadership and push for even greater ambition globally.

The event takes place at Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík. Registration opens at 12:30 pm and the event starts at 1 pm.
